Hi all,
We have some VoIP phones located in public hallways.
For security reasons, we want the switchport to go into shut or err-disabled once the port goes down; eg when someone disconnects the phone from it's cable.
I assume this could be accomplished by an EEM script, but because the switch is a Cat2960X, EEM is not supported.
Anyone has an alternative idea to accomplish this?
Thanks!

2960X supports EEM as long as it's loaded with 15.2 firmware.

Dont have 2960 available for me to test, if the EEM not supported you have 2 options.
1. TCL Script should able to do this task, if you are familiar.
2. or any NMS - solarwinds can able to do this task using SNMP based on traps.

Hello,
on a side note, I guess what you want to accomplish is that random unauthorized people disconnect the phone and connect some other device to the switchport ? If so, you could also just enable port security and statically configure the port with the MAC address of the phone (save the running config to the startup config). The statically configured MAC address will never age out, so no other device than the originally connected phone will ever be able to connect. That has the advantage of not requiring any sort of manual intervention.
2960X(config-if)# switchport port-security mac-address a3cc.09fg.ccf6
