Well the question was note quite completely posted. With switchport host you
cannot assign the vlan id via the macro (and more it's from one of the
Internetworks Expert Workbooks). The so the hypothetical question would
dictate the use of a macro. However the question not stating anything about
the macro description that comes with the command natively, so one could
assume that this is ok... but thought worth throwing this into the round.
Thanks Phillip

For that particular macro would it not suffice to just type in
'switchport host' which does what you specified anyway. Then you don't
need to start creating your own bespoke macros and worrying about
descriptions. Or does the question specifically ask you to create and
define a switch macro?

Subject: trivia question on macro description when applying a macro
Hey guys,
The question is trivial but yet valid as I think it is sort of ambiguous
(or
maybe I am running paranoid already) - hope someone can clarify.
When being asked to use a macro to achieve let's say: portfast &
switchport
mode to be specified;
well if you apply the macro, it'll automatically configure the a macro
description as well. However this is not stated in the question to be
achieved :)
Just wondering if it is:
a) needed to prove that the macro has been used to do get the port into
the
state as requested.
or
b) should be part of the macro to have it taken it out again with "no
macro
description" within the macro :)
I reckon the proctor would be teeeh man to ask in the lab but maybe
someone
can tell if that's a sort of "watch out, it's easy points but u really
need
to read!" question or if it is just a easy points to score indeed and no
CCIE lab mind game attached ;)
I know it's a simple question but hey the way I see it, every point
(will)
count :) especially the easy ones (if there will be any)
Cheers
