Embedded Event Manager 3.2

EEM 3.2 introduced the following new event detectors:
• Neighbor Discovery--Neighbor Discovery event detector provides the ability to publish a policy to
respond to automatic neighbor detection when:
• Identity--Identity event detector generates an event when AAA authorization and authentication is
successful, when failure occurs, or after normal user traffic on the port is allowed to flow.
• Mac-Address-Table--Mac-Address-Table event detector generates an event when a MAC address is
learned in the MAC address table.
Note The Mac-Address-Table event detector is supported only on switch platforms and can be used only on
Layer 2 interfaces where MAC addresses are learned. Layer 3 interfaces do not learn addresses and devices
do not usually support the mac-address-table infrastructure needed to notify EEM of a learned MAC
address.
EEM 3.2 also introduces new CLI commands to support the applets to work with the new event detectors.
