Subject: Re: [OSL | CCIE_RS] Vol3-Lab7-Task1.4 - 'Use Macro'

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".
