[c-nsp] EEM BGP

Tony,

"event timer countdown time 120" means that the applet BGPADJ_NOSHUT will
run once, two minutes after it is added to the config.

For EEM v2.2 in place of "action 150 publish-event sub-system 798 type 100
arg1 "shutdown"" you could add policy B to the config. Policy B would then
run once, 120 seconds after policy A runs.

Policy B could remove itself from the config using:
event manager applet t1
 event timer countdown time 120
 action 000 syslog msg "Timer expired"
 action 001 cli command "enable"
 action 002 cli command "config t"
 action 003 cli command "no event manager applet t1"

Multiple event support was added to EEM in v2.4. For a complete list of what
features where added in which EEM release visit our website at
http://www.progrizon.com/forum/index.php?topic=3.0. For a list of IOS
releases and which version of EEM they contain visit
http://www.progrizon.com/forum/index.php?topic=8.0.

The only docs currently available for EEM are on the Cisco web site.

Clyde,

Thanks so much for your help.  This appears to work well.

I did try and map this into a 12.4(15)T/EEM 2.2 and it appears to work.  I'm

just not sure how.

Here's the 2.2 config:

event manager applet BGPADJ_SHUT
 event syslog occurs 2 pattern "%BGP-5-ADJCHANGE: neighbor 172.16.10.3 Down"

period 600
 action 100 cli command "enable"
 action 110 cli command "configure terminal"
 action 120 cli command "router bgp 666"
 action 130 cli command "neighbor 172.16.10.3 shutdown"
 action 140 syslog msg "Neighbor 172.16.10.3 shutdown by EEM"
 action 150 publish-event sub-system 798 type 100 arg1 "shutdown"
event manager applet BGPADJ_NOSHUT
 event timer countdown time 120
 action 100 cli command "enable"
 action 110 cli command "configure terminal"
 action 120 cli command "router bgp 666"
 action 130 cli command "no neighbor 172.16.10.3 shutdown"
 action 140 syslog msg "Neighbor 172.16.10.3 noshut by EEM"

The event tag command isn't available in 2.2.

I do not understand how the router knows to unshut.  Is this functionally 
the same as the 3.0 config?

Are there any better docs than the ones on cisco.com?

Thanks!
