CLI Macro Commands

CLI Macros provides a convenient way to save and distribute common 

configurations. A CLI macro is a set of the CLI commands having a unique 

name. When a CLI macro is applied, the CLI commands contained within 

the macro are executed and added to the Running Configuration File. When 

the macro is applied to an interface, the existing configuration is not lost; the 

new commands are added configuration.
A CLI Macro may have keywords (variables) which are replaced by values 

provided when the macro is applied (up to 3 keywords per macro). Macros can 

be applied to specific interfaces, a range of interfaces, or the global 

configuration.
There are two types of Macros: 

• Built-In Macros, or Default Macros – the predefined macros which cannot 

be changed or deleted.

• User-Defined Macros, or Custom Macros – the macros which allow the 

operator to bundle some pre-requisites or global configurations as a macro 

and then apply them to one or more interfaces at a time, which can then 

be copied or used by other switches. Up to 50 user-defined macros are 

supported. 

The software includes 6 built-in macros:

• profile-global, the global configuration, used to enable RSTP and loop 

guard.

• profile-desktop, the interface configuration, for increased network security 

and reliability when connecting a desktop device, such as a PC, to a switch 

port.

• profile-phone, the interface configuration, used when connecting a 

desktop device such as a PC with an IP Phone to a switch port.

• profile-switch, the interface configuration, used when connecting an 

access switch and a distribution switch or between access switches.

• profile-router, the interface configuration, used when connecting the 

switch and a WAN router.
