EEM Script is not removing the disable port from suspend_port.dat by seeing syslog port up message

[jubair S]

Dears, I am trying to disable the inactive port by using your provided script sl_suspend_ports.tcl and tm_suspend_ports.tcl. I am using a cisco 3560 8 port switch with below scenario. All the switch ports are admin enabeld and not in connected state. I configured the suspend_ports_config as 2 days.

Day 0

SCript has been ran and put all the ports in Suspend_port file.

Day 1

Script again ran, maintain all the ports are in suspend_port file.

Note:- After ran the script, i enabled fs 0/6 switch port and then made it down. One syslog up down event has been logged in the Cisco switch.

Day 2

Script ran again and disabled all the ports.

Ideally it should not disable the port fa0/6. As per my understanding sl_suspend_ports.tcl script keep monitors the syslog port up messages and remove the interfaces from suspend_port file if any ports up. I suspect some issues with this sl_suspend_ports.tcl script. Please find the attached configuration and the scripts. Kindly advice me on this as I am very much cusios to install these scripts which will reduce my overhead.

Please find the swich configuration as below.

You have not provided enough information to understand what is happening.  Post the susp_ports.dat file as well as the syslogs that were generated when Fa0/6 was brought up.

Thanks for the reply Clark. Please find the tested scenario as below.

All ports were physically down in 8 port Cisco 3560 switch

Day1

Script ran and stored all the ports in sus_ports.dat

Day 2

Script ran and stored all the ports in sus_ports.dat

Note:- I enabeld the port fa0/6 after the script run and after then made it as physically down by removing the cable.

Day 3

Script run and disabled all the port.

Please find the attached sus_ports.dat file, syslog and show flash output as attached.

Is there any timer has been confgured in sl_supend_ports script to check the link up information or will it automatically fetch the date once the link up.

Try this version.

Thanks a lot Joseph...It is working.....It is removing the ports as per the syslog message as of now...
