Question

A network engineer wants a Nexus 9000 switch to automatically shut down interface Ethernet1/10 and generate a custom syslog message whenever that interface flaps more than three times within 60 seconds, without any external server involvement. Which on-box automation approach directly satisfies this requirement?

Accepted Answer

Configure an EEM applet that uses a counter and a syslog-pattern event with 'action' commands to disable the interface and log the message

Answer

Deploy an Ansible playbook scheduled by cron on a control node to poll the interface and shut it down via NX-API

Answer

Enable streaming telemetry to Nexus Dashboard Insights and configure an assurance alert to close the interface

Answer

Write a Terraform configuration using the NX-OS provider to declaratively set the interface to admin-down on drift
