Re: Macro command on 3750

it seems that the macro command has changed in the later 3750 IOS.
I dont have a 3560 to study with so I use 4 3750s.
I am working on a study lab that has a question to create and apply a macro
like:

macro name STANDARD_PORT
switchport access vlan 5
switchport mode access
switchport port-security
switchport port-security violation restrict
switchport port-security aging time 2
switchport port-security aging type inactivity
spanning-tree portfast
spanning-tree bpduguard enable

When I tried to create the macro on the 3750 the macro name command is not
available.
The macro is nothing special, but apparently there is a mind numbing amount
of hoola hoops to jump through now to make a simple port macro.
