300-410 Practice Question: Which TWO statements about Embedded Event Manager…
Which TWO statements about Embedded Event Manager (EEM) applet configuration are true? (Choose TWO.)
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
An EEM applet can be configured with multiple event statements using the 'event' command with the 'or' operator.
EEM applets can use multiple event statements combined with a Boolean operator, and the 'action' command supports Cisco IOS CLI commands via the 'cli' keyword. The other statements are false: applets do not require a Tcl script, multiple actions are allowed, and the 'event none' option is valid for manual triggering.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
An EEM applet can be configured with multiple event statements using the 'event' command with the 'or' operator.
Why this is correct
EEM supports multiple event triggers combined with the 'or' operator, allowing the applet to fire on any of the specified events.
- ✓
The 'action' command within an EEM applet can execute a Cisco IOS CLI command using the 'cli' keyword.
Why this is correct
The 'action' command supports the 'cli' keyword to run IOS commands, e.g., 'action 1.0 cli command "show ip route"'.
- ✗
An EEM applet must include a Tcl script to perform any actions.
Why it's wrong here
An EEM applet can define actions directly within the CLI using the `action` command, such as `syslog`, `counter`, or `publish-event`; a Tcl script is only required when the action logic exceeds CLI capabilities, such as complex string manipulation or external API calls. This option is tempting because Tcl scripting is the only way to implement custom, non‑built‑in actions, making it the correct choice in scenarios requiring programmatic control beyond the predefined action set.
- ✗
An EEM applet can only have a single action command.
Why it's wrong here
EEM applets support multiple actions, numbered sequentially (e.g., action 1.0, action 2.0), allowing a sequence of operations.
- ✗
The 'event none' configuration is not allowed in an EEM applet.
Why it's wrong here
The 'event none' command is valid and used for applets that are manually triggered via 'event manager run'.
