User Guidelines

If a command fails because of a syntax error or a configuration error when you

apply a macro, the macro continues to apply the remaining commands to the

switch.
Keyword matching is case sensitive. All matching occurrences of the keyword

are replaced with the corresponding value. Any full match of a keyword, even

if it is part of a large string, is considered a match and replaced by the

corresponding value.
If you apply a macro that contains keywords in its commands, the command

fails if you do not specify the proper values for the keywords when you apply

the macro. You can use this command with a '?' to display the help string for

the macro keywords. You define the keywords in the help string using the

preprocessor command #macro keywords when you define a macro.
When you apply a macro in Global Configuration mode, the switch

automatically generates a global macro description command with the macro

name. As a result, the macro name is appended to the global macro history.

Use show parser macro to display the global macro history.

Example.

The following is an example of a macro being defined and then applied to the

switch with the trace option.

console(config)# macro name console-timeout
