Today, I was facing an issue on a client network. After some troubleshooting, I was supposing that a MAC address was duplicated on the network and appears randomly on a physical interface.
But as I didn't would like pass my day to check the mac database of the switch for this specific interface, I have decided to use an EEM script. This EEM script detects new entry in MAC database for the specific interface and generates a log message with an alert level of priority. These levels messages are forwarded by the syslog server to my mailbox! Once I have received the message, I can check manually on the switch which MAC appears on the interface. Below, the script used in order to troubleshoot this issue:
event manager applet MAC-ADD
event mat interface GigabitEthernet0/24 type add
action 1.0 syslog priority alerts msg "NEW MAC on ADD Gi0/24"
!
event manager applet MAC-DEL
event mat interface GigabitEthernet0/24 type delete
action 1.0 syslog priority alerts msg "MAC DELETED on Gi0/24"
