4. To complete the Smartport configuration, refer to Customize Port Role

Customize Port Role Attributes
Each switch port is a member of a VLAN. Devices attached to switch ports that
belong to the same VLAN share the same data broadcasts and system resources.
Communication between VLANs requires a Layer 3 device (such as a router or a
Layer 3 switch).
Depending on your network requirements, it might be sufficient to assign all
ports to the default VLAN, which is named default. A small network might only
need one VLAN.
Before changing the virtual local-area network (VLAN) memberships, you
should understand what a VLAN is, its purpose, and how to create a VLAN.
Refer to
VLANs on page 29 for more information about VLANs.
Update Port Settings
The basic port settings determine how data is received and sent between the
switch and the attached device. You can change these settings to fit your network
needs and to troubleshoot network problems. The settings on a switch port
should be compatible with the port settings of the connected device.
Validation blocks the user from configuring port roles for a routed port.
