Applying a Smartport Type to Port

When Smartport types are applied to interfaces, the smartport types and configuration in the associated Smartport macros are saved in the Running Configuration File. If the administrator saves the Running Configuration File into the Startup Configuration File, the switch will apply the Smartport types and the Smartport macros to the ports after reboot as follows:

  1. If the Startup Configuration File does not specify a Smartport type for a port, it’s Smartport type is set to Default.
  2. If the Startup Configuration File specifies a static Smartport type, the Smartport type of the port is set to this static type.
  3. If the Startup Configuration File specifies a Smartport type that was dynamically assigned by Auto Smartport:
    1. If the Auto Smartport Global Operational state, the interface Auto Smartport state, and the Persistent Status are all Enable, the Smartport type is set to this dynamic type.
    2. Else the corresponding anti-macro is applied and the port’s status is set to Default.
