Lab 3 - EEM
Task 1
Configure an applet named TST on R1 that assigns the F0/0 interface an IP address of
10.1.1.1 /24 and enables the interface.
On R1
R1(config)#Event manager applet TST
R1(config-applet)#event none
R1(config-applet)#action 1.0
R1(config-applet)#action 1.1
R1(config-applet)#action 1.2

EEM applets are divided into three main elements: the name, the trigger (or event) and the action(s).
In this example, the command “event manager applet TST” is used to name the applet “TST”.
We define our trigger with the command “event none sync yes “. A trigger is used to tell the applet to
execute.
“Event none” states that there is to be a manual trigger (i.e. that the applet needs to be executed from
the CLI with the “event manager run” command). “Sync yes” tells the router to run the commands in
the applet synchronously with the router CLI, rather than execute them in a batch. This helps prevent
command overruns.
When the applet executes the commands it uses “action” statements. These must be numbered in
ascending order but do not have to be consecutive. Generally, it is wise to use the number before the
period to represent code sections and after the period the line within the sections that make a function.
In our example we have the following action statements:
action 1.0 cli command "enable"
action 1.1 cli command "config terminal"
action 1.2 cli command "interface F0/0"
action 1.3 cli command "ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0"
action 1.4 cli command "no shut"
action 1.5 cli command "end"

The syntax here dictates each statement to be a CLI (command line interface) command and in double
quotes we specify which regular IOS command needs to be run. You’ll notice here we include every
command needed to get from enable mode to the F0/0 interface, the applet then executes our
configuration commands and then exits back to privileged exec mode. Because this is all one function
we chose to number it 1.x for each command line within the function.
To test the configuration:
On R1
R1#event manager run TST
You should see the following console messages:
%SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by on vty0 (EEM:TST)
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/0, changed state to up
R1#Show run int f0/0 | B interface
interface FastEthernet0/0
ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
duplex auto
speed auto
end
Task 2
Using EEM configure an applet on R1 to generate the following Console message when
it’s run manually.
“Micronics is the BEST”
On R1
R1(config)#Event manager applet CCIE
R1(config-applet)#event none
R1(config-applet)#action 2.0 syslog msg "Micronics is the BEST"
R1(config-applet)#end
To test the configuration:

On R1
R1#Event manager run CCIE
You should see the following console message:
%HA_EM-6-LOG: CCIE: Micronics is the BEST
Task 3
Configure an applet named TST on R2 that gives the F0/0 interface an IP address of
10.1.1.2 /24 and enables the interface. The applet should then log a console message that
states “IP address assigned successfully”.
On R2
R2(config)#Event manager applet TST
R2(config-applet)#event none
R2(config-applet)#action 3.0
R2(config-applet)#action 3.1
R2(config-applet)#action 3.2
R2(config-applet)#action 3.3
R2(config-applet)#action 3.4
R2(config-applet)#action 3.5
R2(config-applet)#action 3.6
sync yes
cli command "enable"
cli command "config t"
cli command "interface f0/0"
cli command "ip addr 10.1.1.2 255.255.255.0"
cli command "no shut"
cli command "end"
syslog msg "IP Address assigned successfully"
To test the configuration:
On R2
R2#Event manager run TST
You should see the following console messages:
%SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by on vty0 (EEM:TST)
%HA_EM-6-LOG: TST: IP Address assigned successfully
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/0, changed state to up
This example is very similar to the first task. The major difference (besides it being used to configure
R2 rather than R1) is that there is an additional action to log a syslog message after the IP address of
R2 is configured and enabled. Syslog is a protocol used to manage events and alerts. By default syslog
messages are sent straight to the router console, so we see the following message on the router console

Page 3 of 15
after the script executes:
%HA_EM-6-LOG: TST: IP Address assigned successfully
To enable a syslog message we used the action statement in the applet of:
action 3.6 syslog msg "IP Address assigned successfully"
This caused our string of text to be displayed on the console after our other commands executed
successfully.
Task 4
Using EEM configure an applet such that it saves R2’s configuration and reloads the
router. Before the reload a console message of “Router about to reload” should be
logged to the console.
On R2
R2(config)#Event manager applet Reload
R2(config-applet)#event none sync yes
R2(config-applet)#action 4.0 cli command "enable"
R2(config-applet)#action 4.1 cli command "wr"
R2(config-applet)#action 4.2 syslog msg "Router about to reload"
R2(config-applet)#action 4.3 reload
R2(config-applet)#exit
NOTE: The “Reload” is an option after the “action 4.3”, therefore, the “cli command “Reload” should
NOT be configured.
A “?” will reveal this information:

You should see the following console messages:
%HA_EM-6-LOG: Reload: Router is about to reload
%HA_EM-6-FMS_RELOAD_SYSTEM: fh_io_msg: Policy has requested a system

Task 5
Configure R2 so that whenever a Syslog message including the text “UPDOWN” is
written to the log, an additional Syslog message of “Interface state changed, Wake UP
mate” is written by EEM to the Syslog.
On R2
R2(config)#Event manager applet UpDown
R2(config-applet)#event syslog pattern UPDOWN
R2(config-applet)#action 5.0 syslog msg "Interface state changed, wake up mate”
To test the configuration:
On R2
R2(config)#int f0/0
R2(config-if)#Shut
You should see the following console messages:
%LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface FastEthernet0/0, changed state to administratively down
%LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/0, changed state to down
%HA_EM-6-LOG: UpDown: Interface state changed, Wake up mate
The new element in this applet is the “Event syslog pattern UPDOWN” trigger. This trigger looks for a
certain pattern to occur within a Syslog message, and when that pattern occurs, it triggers the applet
which in this case will write another Syslog message. The pattern can be any regular expression or
string match.
Task 6
Assign the following IP addresses to the F0/0 and F0/1 interfaces of R3, and enable both
interfaces:
F0/0 – 30.3.3.3 /24
F0/1 – 31 3.3.3 /24
R3 should be configured such that when its F0/0 interface goes down, the F0/1 interface
of this router also goes down, and when it comes back up, the F0/1 interface should also
come back up. You should use an EEM applet to accomplish this task.

R3(config-applet)#action 6.0 cli command "enable"
R3(config-applet)#action 6.1 cli command "configure terminal"

Task 7
R2 is going to pretend to be an SMTP server. Configure R3 to be able to send an email to
[email protected]. The email should come from
[email protected], however, the script should be portable and used by other
routers so use a variable to obtain the value R3. The email subject should be “Test
Email”.
On R3
R3(config)#Event manager applet TestEmail
R3(config-applet)#event none sync yes
R3(config-applet)#action 7.0 info type routername

This example uses two new action statement types. The first is the “info” action statement. The info
action statement is used when a piece of system information needs to be retrieved by the applet. In this
case we use the “info type routername” statement which retrieves the name of the router and holds it
as a variable “$_info_routername”. This variable can be obtained from the Cisco documentation at:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/netmgmt/command/reference/nm_01.html#wp1049967
The second statement type added here is the mail action statement. The mail action statement is used to
send emails to an email server (which we don’t have in the CCIE lab) to deliver to a recipient. Each
field (server, to, from, subject, etc.) needs to be filled in to the mail action statement to construct an
email to be sent.
In our example we execute the TestEmail applet however, due to there being no SMTP server on R2 we
return an error message rather than sending an email.
Task 8
Configure R2 or any other router such that when a “ping 10.1.1.1” command is entered
the following console message is displayed:
“The command is bypassed, try again later.”
On R2
R2(config)#Event manager applet Task8
R2(config-applet)#event cli pattern "ping 10.1.1.1" sync no skip yes
R2(config-applet)#action 8.0 syslog msg "The command is bypassed, try
again later."
R3(config-applet)#end
To test the configuration:
On R2
R2#ping 10.1.1.1
R2#
%HA_EM-6-LOG: Task8: The command is bypassed, try again later.
In the above example the “Sync NO” option is used to stop the policy from running synchronously, this
gave us the ability to use the “Skip” keyword; the “Skip” keyword prevents the issued command (ping
10.1.1.1) from running. Then, the ONLY action is taken which generates a console message.

Task 9
Configure R3 such that when you enter “configure terminal” it puts you back in the
privilege mode.
DO NOT save the configuration after configuring this task, reload the router
once the task is fully tested.
On R3
R3(config)#event manager applet TST
R3(config-applet)#event cli pattern "configure terminal" sync no skip yes
R3(config-applet)#action 9.0 cli command "enable"
R3(config-applet)#end
NOTE: In this configuration if the “SKIP” option is set to “NO”, it will NOT skip and it will execute
the command and the IOS will take you to the global configuration mode, but if you want to skip the
execution of the “config t” command and go to the action, then, it MUST be set to “YES”.
To test the configuration:
On R3
R3#conf t
R3#
The router needs to be reloaded to get ride off the Event manager applet.
Task 10
Configure the routers according to the following diagram.
All directly connected interfaces should be configured in area 0, except the lo0 of R1, this
interface should NOT be configured in any routing protocol.
Lab Setup:
To copy and paste the initial configurations, go to “Boot-Camp-Init” folder  “IP
Services-Adv Features” ”Lab-3-Task-10”.
