EEM Script on Uplink Port

[abc1235]

Hallo,

Running the EEM script below, to overwrite the VLANs on the uplink port does not work remotely. Is the any error that someone can point to? Thanks

event manager applet VLAN_ALLOWED authorization bypass

event none

 action 3.0 cli command "enable"

 action 4.0 cli command "conf t"

 action 5.0 cli command "interface  gi1/1/1"

 action 6.0 cli command "switchport trunk allowed vlan 200-203"

 action 6.1 cli command "exit"

debug event manager action cli

event manager run VLAN_ALLOWED

This is the uplink's current config:

interface GigabitEthernet1/1/1
description UPLINK
switchport trunk allowed vlan 110,120,130,140-143,200-203
switchport mode trunk
snmp trap mac-notification change added
service-policy output WAN-EDGE
ip dhcp snooping trust

Hello @abc1235 ,

I'm not sure what the problem is. I tested your setup in my lab environment, I just changed the interface number, and it works. See below for outputs:

Trying 1.1.1.100 ... Open

What you get from from debug event 

Can you share debug

Running the EEM script below, to overwrite the VLANs on the uplink port does not work remotely. Is the any error that someone can point to? Thanks

You want to run this EEM acript  when ? any time or on boot or certain timing ?

always use end of EEM script

action 7.0 cli command "end"

[abc1235]

@liviu.gheorghe Thanks for that demo, but what is interesting is that when I run the script on a data port, it works but as soon as I run it on the uplink port, I lose connection immediately. It is a C3850 switch.

@MHM Cisco World I get no debug message because as soon as I run the script, I lose connection immediately.

@balaji.bandi Do you mean in place of exit or an additional command?

[MHM Cisco World]

This not EEM issue' the trunk must allow some vlan include vlan1 and native vlan (if you specify different vlan for native than vlan1) and also mgmt vlan.

You lost connection because you allow few vlan that not include above 

MHM

[balaji.bandi]

end is suggested,

as you mentioned if you run this uplink port you loose connection,

check what VLAN you have connection since you have

110,120,130,140-143,200-203

when you run the script you only going to be :

200-203 (this may be the issue)

what is the outcome you looking :

110,120,130,140-143,200-203

to

200-203

[abc1235]

@balaji.bandi The uplink is the connection to our ISP and the transfer network is vlan 200-203. The rest of the vlans are not required in this port. I will probably have to go to the location to change this, since everyone agrees there is no error in the EEM script.

[MHM Cisco World]

what is mgmt van for SW ?
MHM

[balaji.bandi]

are you connecting to the switch on those VLAN IP address ? 

we need to know how you connecting and what are those VLAN IP address in that device.

other option you can write the config, use reload 

reload [text | in [hh:]mm [text] | at hh:mm [month day | day month] [text] | cancel]

and change the config, if that works ok - if not working the device reload mentioned time so the old configuration will be restored as it is.

[abc1235]

@MHM Cisco World Mgmt vlan is 130

@balaji.bandi The switch is connected to the provider edge router with the 'transfer network' in the vlan 200-203. The other vlans are for data, voice, access points etc. And yes, I have been using the reload command since I am not on location.

[balaji.bandi]

if the management VLAN 130 - you removing from Trunk how does that going to work - we are still not clear what VLAN is what ?

if you connecting to MGMT VLAN 130 - you removing from that - what option you have connecting to device back ?

[MHM Cisco World]

mgmt vlan 130 and it not include in vlan allow in trunk so sure you loss access to SW

[abc1235]

@MHM Cisco World and @balaji.bandi Why would we need the MGMT vlan on a port connecting to the ISP's provider edge router? At least from the rest of the switches that are working (the one I am asking about, is also working just that I would like to maintain the standard), this interface GigabitEthernet1/1 is configured for point-to-point connection to the provider's edge router (vlan 200-203 have subnet 255.255.255.252). 

[balaji.bandi]

we are in assumption what has been given the information - if you need more help you need provide show run (full config removing password information ) so we understand, at this we have only one sided information.
