How the Smartport Feature Works
You can apply a Smartport macro to an interface by the Smartport type associated with the macro.
There are two ways to apply Smartport macro by Smartport type to an interface:
- Static Smartport
The user manually assigns a Smartport type to an interface. The corresponding Smartport macro is applied to the interface. You can manually assign a Smartport type to an interface from the Smartport Port Setting Page.
- Auto Smartport
When a device is detected from an interface, the Smartport macro, if any, that corresponds to the Smartport type of the attaching device is automatically applied. This function requires you to enable Auto Smartport globally and at the desired interfaces.
