Auto shut down of interface

[Wael Jarad]

How can i let a switchport in a switch shutdown if the trunk of that switch fails or goes down.

You can use Cisco EEM (embedded event manager). But you will need to do some TCL scripting for your exact needs.

You can find example scripts here:

And a lot more information on EEM here:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_4t/netmgmt/configuration/guide/t_eemt.html

My scripting skills are non-existent so I don't know how hard this might be.

Also you need to check the IOS you have installed supports EEM. You might need an upgrade.

hi,

I think one possible way could be a Macro called "smartport macro"

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst2950/software/release/12.1_19_ea1/configuration/guide/swmacro.html

But I don't know if you can bind this to the event "trunkport fails"
