You are both correct and wrong in that assessment :-). Technically, they are *not* macros (i.e. they won't show when using "show parser macro"), but they are macros in a sense they "expand" into different set of commands that are then inserted into the running configuration of the device. The use of term "macro" needs to be taken very liberally here and it mimics Cisco's own documentation and CiscoPress publications.
Another example of a "macro" could be a VRF-level command "route-target both X:X", which will expand into "route-target import X:X" and "route-target export X:X". -- Marko Milivojevic - CCIE #18427 (SP R&S) Senior CCIE Instructor - IPexpert On Fri, Jan 13, 2012 at 21:45, Anthony Burke <[email protected]> wrote: > Correct me if I am wrong but I beleve the primary and secondary commands > are macros as they set the priority to values that are predefined.
