The syntax for this preprocessor command is as follows:
#macro keywords $keyword1 $keyword2 $keyword3
where $keywordn is the name of the keyword.
Editing a Macro
Macros cannot be edited. Modify a macro by creating a new macro with the
same name as the existing macro. The newer macro overwrites the existing
macro.
Scope of Macro
It is important to consider the scope of any user-defined macro. Because of
the potential hazards of applying unintended configurations, do not change
configuration modes within the macro by using commands such as exit, end,
or interface interface-id . With a few exceptions, there are other ways of
executing macros in the various configuration modes. Macros may be
executed in Privileged Exec mode, Global Configuration mode, and Interface
Configuration mode (when the interface is NOT a VLAN.)
Examples
Example 1—The following example shows how to create a macro that
configures the duplex mode of a port.
console(config)# macro name dup
Enter macro commands one per line. End with the character ‘@’.
#macro description dup
duplex full
negotiation
@
Example 2—The following example shows how to create a macro with the
parameters: DUPLEX and SPEED. When the macro is run, the values of
DUPLEX and SPEED must be provided by the user. The #macro keywords
command enables the user to receive help for the macro as shown in Example
3.
console(config)# macro name duplex
Enter macro commands one per line. End with the character ‘@’.
duplex $DUPLEX
