300-410 Practice Question: Runs the following command to troubleshoot an EEM…
A network engineer runs the following command to troubleshoot an EEM issue:
R1# debug event manager action syslog
EEM Action Syslog debugging is on
R1#
Mar 1 00:20:45.789: %HA_EM-6-ACTION: applet TRACK-INTERFACE: action syslog msg: 'OSPF adjacency change detected'
What does this output indicate?
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
✓
The EEM applet 'TRACK-INTERFACE' executed a syslog action and generated the message 'OSPF adjacency change detected'.
The debug output shows the execution of syslog actions within an EEM applet. It displays the applet name and the syslog message being generated. This is useful for verifying that syslog actions are working correctly.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
The EEM applet 'TRACK-INTERFACE' executed a syslog action and generated the message 'OSPF adjacency change detected'.
Why this is correct
Correct. The debug output shows the applet generating the syslog message.
- ✗
The EEM applet 'TRACK-INTERFACE' received a syslog message 'OSPF adjacency change detected'.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. The applet is generating the syslog message, not receiving it.
- ✗
The debug output shows the configuration of the syslog action for applet 'TRACK-INTERFACE'.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. This is debug output showing real-time execution, not configuration.
- ✗
The syslog message was generated by the system, not by the EEM applet.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. The output clearly indicates it was generated by the applet 'TRACK-INTERFACE'.

Quick reference
Routing Protocol Comparison
| Protocol | Metric | Max Hops | Algorithm | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RIP v2 | Hop count | 15 | Bellman-Ford | Distance vector |
| OSPF | Cost (bandwidth) | Unlimited | Dijkstra (SPF) | Link state |
| EIGRP | Composite metric | Unlimited | DUAL | Hybrid |
| IS-IS | Cost | Unlimited | Dijkstra | Link state |
| BGP | Policy / attributes | Unlimited | Path vector | Path vector |
RIP's 15-hop limit makes it unsuitable for large networks. OSPF and EIGRP dominate modern enterprise deployments.
