Macro Failure and the Reset Operation
How the Smartport Feature Works
162
-
Else the corresponding anti-macro is applied and the interfaces status is
set to Default.
A Smartport macro might fail if there is a conflict between the existing
configuration of the interface and a Smartport macro.
When a Smartport macro fails, a SYSLOG message containing the following
parameters is sent:
•
Port number
•
Smartport type
•
The line number of the failed CLI command in the macro
When a Smartport macro fails on an interface, the status of the interface is set to
Unknown. The reason for the failure can be displayed in the Interface Settings
page, Show Diagnostics popup.
After the source of the problem is determined and the existing configuration or
Smartport macro is corrected, you must perform a reset operation to reset the
interface before it can be reapplied with a Smartport type (in the Interface
Settings pages). See the workflow area in
troubleshooting tips.
You can apply a Smartport macro to an interface by the macro name, or by the
Smartport type associated with the macro. Applying a Smartport macro by macro
name can be done only through the CLI, you should refer to the CLI guide for
details.
Because support is provided for Smartport types which correspond to devices
that do not allow themselves to be discovered via CDP and/or LLDP, these
Smartport types must be statically assigned to the desired interfaces. This can be
done by navigating to the Smartport Interface Settings page, selecting the radio
button of the desired interface, and clicking Edit. Then, select the Smartport type
you want to assign and adjust the parameters as necessary before clicking Apply.
