What is a Smartport

133

Cisco Small Business 200 Series Smart Switch Administration Guide 

There are two ways to apply a Smartport macro by Smartport type to an 
interface:

•

Static Smartport—You manually assign a Smartport type to an interface. 
The result is the corresponding Smartport macro is applied to the interface.

•

Auto Smartport—Auto Smartport waits for a device to be attached to the 
interface before applying a configuration. When a device is detected from 
an interface, the Smartport macro (if assigned) that corresponds to the 
Smartport type of the attaching device is automatically applied.

The Smartport feature consists of various components and works in conjunction 
with other features on the device. These components and features are described 
in the following sections:

•

Smartport, Smartport types and Smartport macros, described in this 
section.

•

Voice VLAN and Smartport, described in the 

 section.

•

LLDP/CDP for Smartport, described in the 

 and 

 sections, respectively.

Additionally, typical work flows are described in the 

section.

A Smartport is an interface to which a built-in  macro may be applied. These 
macros are designed to provide a means of quickly configuring the device to 
support the communication requirements and utilize the features of various types 
of network devices. The network access and QoS requirements vary if the 
interface is connected to an IP phone, a printer, or a router and/or Access Point 
(AP). 

Smartport types refers to the types of devices attached, or to be attached to 
Smartports. The device supports the following Smartport types:

•
