My goal is to build out an applet to assign a dynamic description to any interface with an authenticated host, whether it be dot1x or MAB. I think this sounds like a great use case for event identity interface regexp Ethernet.*, but I can't even get a syslog msg or puts to display a message.
Here is what I've tried...
event manager applet int_desc
event identity interface regexp Ethernet.*
action 00.00 syslog msg " ## Auth event on: $_identity_interface
action 00.01 cli command "enable"
action 00.02 cli command "conf t"
action 00.03 cli command "int $_identity_interface"
action 00.03 cli command "desc AUTH"
action 00.04 exit
I have tried this on a C3850-12X48U-S and a C3650-48FQM-S, both running IOS-XE 16.3.6, here is the output from show event man version (same from both switches).
