Restrictions for Auto SmartPorts
-
Although Auto SmartPort detects the Cisco switch it does not invoke the event trigger automatically. The event trigger needs to be manually invoked to map the switch to macros.
The no macro auto global processing command disables the Auto Smartport only. To disable the device classifier, use the no device classifier command.
-
In a scenario where the user is authenticating for clients using the ASP macro and the macro includes commands that may trigger a session teardown or an internal configuration change, we observe that after authentication, the MAC address gets stuck in the drop state. The following are recommended workarounds to avoid this situation:
-
If the macro contains authentication commands, such as authentication event server dead action authorize vlan vlan-id and authentication event no-response action authorize vlan vlan-id , remove the commands from the macro and configure them directly on the interface.
-
If the macro contains the switchport access vlanvlan-id command, use the Dynamic VLAN from the AAA server instead of configuring the VLAN via the macro.
