Workflow to Run EEM Scripts

Complete the following tasks to provision EEM scripts:

1. Download the script—Store the EEM script on an HTTP server or copy to the hard disk of the router. Add the EEM script from the HTTP server or hard disk to the script management repository on the router using the script add eem command.

2. Define events—Configure the events with the trigger conditions using the event manager event-trigger command.

3. Define actions to the events—Setup the actions that must be performed in response to an event using event manager action command.

4. Create policy map—Put together the events and the actions in a policy map using event manager policy-map command.

   Note: An EEM script is invoked automatically when the event occurs. With the event, the event-trigger invokes the corresponding policy-map to implement the actions in response to the event.

5. View operational status of the event—Retrieve the operational data using the show event-manager action | event-trigger | policy-map command.
