首先介绍下背景：客户单位的网点目前使用的线路是SDH+FR，网点到地市核心使用的路由协议为RIP，根据实际测试，出现链路故障时，不做任何优化的情况下路由收敛需要4分钟。客户单位有计划将网点的FR线路升级为MSTP。
      众所周知，MSTP线路如果在中间某一点出现故障，是不会导致设备物理端口出现协议层down的。物理接口处于UP状态时，路由是不会进行收敛的。为了避免此种情况，并加快网络收敛速度，思科工程师建议使用IP SLA+EEM。于是使用两台Cisco2801进行模拟测试，使用的IOS为c2801-entbasek9-mz.150-1.M.bin。
     模拟拓扑如下：

当两个交换机之间的连线拔掉之后，track 1 可以发现56.16.234.2无法ping到，SLA状态转为down，触发了EEM，执行EEM定义的语句。
*Jan  9 05:58:40.911: %TRACKING-5-STATE: 1 ip sla 1 state Up->Down
*Jan  9 05:58:40.995: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by  on vty0 (EEM:rip_track_1)
*Jan  9 05:58:42.963: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface FastEthernet0/0, changed state to up
再查看路由表时，路由已经是从S0/1/0：0学习到的。在配置中的探测频率与延时情况下，粗略判断路由收敛的时间在5秒左右，比自行收敛快数十倍。
其中有一个需要注意到地方是配置中的那条主机路由：ip route 56.16.234.2 255.255.255.255 FastEthernet0/0
用于确保探测对端地址的ICMP报文只能从F0/0发出，避免ICMP探测报文从其他路径到达目标，造成误判。
初步使用了一下EEM，觉得这个功能非常强大
