Hi All:

No, the track ED is not available, but you can still integrate EEM with Object Tracking via the syslog ED.  When a tracked object goes down, a TRACKING-5-STATE message will be generated.  EEM can then trigger off of that:

event manager applet track-down

event syslog pattern "TRACKING-5-STATE: 1 .* Up->Down"

...

This will trigger when track 1 transitions to down.

Hello!

On the Cisco EEM official page, they announce that the latest version is 3.0 and then in the compatibility product field:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/iosswrel/ps6537/ps6555/ps6815/datasheet_c78-492444.html

Product Compatibility

EEM is available for the  Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switches, Cisco Integrated Services Routers,  Cisco 7200 Series Routers, Cisco 7300 Series Routers, Cisco 7600 Series  Routers, Cisco 10000 Series Routers; EEM is also available for the Cisco  Catalyst 4500 Series Switches and the Cisco Catalyst 3700 Series  Switches and the ASR-1000 Series Routers; please refer to the Cisco IOS  Feature Navigator for the latest device support information

I hope this helps.

Cheers,

Thx Calin  reply.

  I check from the Cisco 'Software Advisor', Cat4500 maybe just support EEM 2.0.

I cannot check with software adivsor, as you didn't gave us any details about your hardware (model, SUP...)

Calin

Thx u.

Our platform is C4503,SUP-6,Any IOS.

Indeed, if I check with Software Advisor and select your hardware, it show only EEM 2.0, so I did a little test.

I've change your platform with another one (C6500, SUP720) and there is show that it support EEM 2.4, so not 3.0. I tried another platform and the same.

According to the link in my first post, this platforms should support 3.0, so either Software Advisor is not updated, or that link is not having all the information.

Can you check to see if your hardware support EEM 3.0?

Calin

Software Advisor is not update, 12.2(54)SG supports EEM 3.2. However, track option is not there.
