Using the Tcl package support in EEM, users can gain access to packages such as XML_RPC for Tcl. When
the Tcl package index is created, a Tcl script can easily make an XML-RPC call to an external entity.
Packages implemented in C programming code are not supported in EEM.Note
SUMMARY STEPS
1.
On your workstation (UNIX, Linux, PC, or Mac) create a library directory and copy the Tcl package files
into the directory.
2.
tclsh
3.
pkg_mkindex directory_name *.tcl
4.
Copy the Tcl package files from Step 1 and the pkgIndex file from Step 3 to the directory used for storing
user library files on the target router.
5.
Copy a user-defined EEM policy file written in Tcl to the directory used for storing user-defined EEM
policies on the target router.
6.

DETAILED STEPS
PurposeCommand or Action
—
On your workstation (UNIX, Linux, PC, or Mac)
create a library directory and copy the Tcl package
files into the directory.
Step 1
Enters the Tcl shell.tclsh
Example:
workstation% tclsh
Step 2
Use the pkg_mkindex command to create the pkgIndex file. The
pkgIndex file contains a directory of all the packages contained in
pkg_mkindex directory_name *.tcl
Example:
workstation% pkg_mkindex eem_library *.tcl
Step 3
the Tcl library files. We recommend that you run the pkg_mkindex
command inside a directory, because there can be only a single
pkgIndex file in any directory and you may have other Tcl files to
be grouped together. Running the pkg_mkindex command in a
directory determines which Tcl package file or files are indexed
using a specific pkgIndex.
