Need to shut down port if remote port does not respond to ICMP

[jpmonzonr]

I need to track if an IP is up with ICMP,  Source IP: 192.168.249.1 Dest IP: 192.168.249.2 on port FastEthernet fa0/19

I do not understand how the weights work here with the UP or Down Status can you please explain. I modified your commands a bit and this is what I got, can you let me know if I am on the right path or a better way to do it:

track 10 ip sla 10
 delay down 10
!
track 19 list threshold weight
 object 10 weight 70
 threshold weight down 30 up 70
authentication mac-move permit

ip sla 10
 icmp-echo 10.13.249.2 source-ip 10.13.249.1
 timeout 300
 frequency 5
ip sla schedule 10 life forever start-time now
ip sla enable reaction-alerts
 

event manager applet Remote_Site_Up
 event syslog pattern "TRACKING-5-STATE: 19 list threshold weight Down->Up"
 action 1.0 cli command "enable"
 action 2.0 cli command "config t"
 action 3.0 cli command "interface FastEthernet0/19"
 action 4.0 cli command "no shut"
 action 5.0 cli command "end"
event manager applet Remote_Site_Down
 event syslog pattern "TRACKING-5-STATE: 19 list threshold weight Up->Down"
 action 1.0 cli command "enable"
 action 2.0 cli command "config t"
 action 3.0 cli command "interface FastEthernet0/19"
 action 4.0 cli command "shut"
 action 5.0 cli command "end"

--------------------------

This is the status with the show track command:

Track 10
  IP SLA 10 state
  State is Up
    1 change, last change 00:29:35
  Delay down 10 secs
  Latest operation return code: OK
  Latest RTT (millisecs) 1
Track 19
  List threshold weight
  Threshold Weight is Up (70/70)
    2 changes, last change 00:29:34
    object 10 weight 70 Up (70/70)
  Threshold weight down 30 up 70

If all you are about is tracking the ICMP reachability (up or down), then just use track 10 in your applets.  What you have will be fine.  You will see a 10 second delay after ICMP fails before the tracked object will go down, and thus the down applet will trigger.

Hello,

We are trying to use these commands now, we do not have the "event track 1 state down" command on the EEM, what alternative would you recommend?

We only have the following options:

Switch(config-applet)#event ?
  application         Application specific event
  cli                 CLI event
  counter             Counter event
  identity            Identity event
  interface           Interface event
  ioswdsysmon         IOS WDSysMon event
  ipsla               IPSLA Event
  mat                 MAC address table event
  neighbor-discovery  Neighbor Discovery event
  none                Manually run policy event
  oir                 OIR event
  routing             Routing event
  rpc                 Remote Procedure Call event
  snmp                SNMP event
  snmp-notification   SNMP Notification Event
  snmp-object         SNMP object event
  syslog              Syslog event
  tag                 event tag identifier
  timer               Timer event

The following are the commands we are trying to use for SLA:

ip sla 10

icmp-echo 10.13.246.1

timeout 2000    

threshold 2000

frequency 3      

ip sla schedule 10 life forever start-time now

track 1 ip sla 10 reachability

delay down 9 up 9

Event manager applet Enlace_down event track 1 state down action 1.0 syslog msg "Problema enlace. Ping failed!" action 2.0 cli command "enable"
action 3.0 cli command "config t"
action 4.0 cli command "interface FastEthernet0/19"
action 5.0 cli command "shut"
action 6.0 cli command "end"

Use syslog instead.  You should see a syslog message when a tracked object transitions from Up to Down and vice versa.  E.g., "TRACK.*Track 1.*Up->Down"
