The Smartport feature is designed to provide a means of quickly configuring network devices,
such as IP phones, printers, routers and Access Points (APs).
Using this feature, you create a "Smartport" macro, which is simply a script containing CLI
commands. These CLI commands specify the device configuration. After creating a Smartport
macro, it is applied to one or more devices. The result is that these devices share a common
configuration.
The Smartport feature works in conjunction with other features such as:
• Voice VLAN and Smartport, described in the

Voice VLAN section.
