EEM allows the behavior of a Cisco device to adapt to specific user requirements by allowing scripting, thresholding, proactive actions, data collection and event management inside the Cisco device itself.

What is Cisco EEM script?

Embedded Event Manager (EEM) is a technology on Cisco Routers that lets you run scripts or commands when a certain event happens.

How do I configure IP SLA With EEM?

IP SLA is configured on R1 which sends ICMP echoes to R2. It’s a simple configuration where R1 will keep sending ICMP echoes to R2 forever. To combine IP SLA with EEM, we’ll need to track it somehow. We can do this with object tracking: Above we created a new object that will track IP SLA 1. We can now track the status of this object with EEM:

How does the IP SLA classify a link?

Depending on the result of the pings, the IP SLA will classify the link as up or down. When there is a status change, it will run the script that goes with that status change.

What are the messages produced by Eem?

The first message is produced by object tracking. It notices that IP SLA has reported a failure. The second message is produced by EEM and it’s the first action that we configured, the syslog message.
