Device(config)# event manager directory user library bootflash:/user_library
Step 14 event manager policy policy-filename [type {system| user}] [trap]
Registers the EEM policy to be run when the specified event defined within the policy occurs. In the following example,
the new EEM policy named cl_mytest.tcl is registered as a user-defined policy.
Example:
Device(config)# event manager policy cl_mytest.tcl type user
Step 15 Cause the policy to execute, and observe the policy.
To test that the policy runs, generate the conditions that will cause the policy to execute and observe that the policy runs
as expected.
Step 16 Use debugging techniques if the policy does not execute correctly.
Use the Cisco IOS debug event manager CLI command with its various keywords to debug issues. Refer to the
