Technical Tip: Automation Stitch to shutdown wan interface if SLA fails

In this setup, port1 is the WAN interface. 

1. Create an Automation Action that will shut port1.
                                                            

2. Create the Automation trigger when the SLA fails, the port1 is brought down.
                                                                 

3. Create Automation Stitch. When port1 SLA fails, port1 will be brought down.
                                                             

CLI reference:

config system automation-trigger

    edit "trigger-port1DOWN"

        set event-type event-log

        set logid 22933

        config fields

            edit 1

                set name "interface"

                set value "port1"

            next

            edit 2

                set name "healthcheck"

                set value "SLA8888FGT1"

            next

        end

    next

end

config system automation-action

    edit "port1DOWN"

        set action-type cli-script

        set script "config system interface

            edit port1

                set status down

end"

        set accprofile "super_admin"

    next

end

config system automation-stitch

    edit "stitch-port1DOWN"

        set trigger "trigger-port1DOWN"

        config actions

            edit 1

                set action "port1DOWN"

                set required enable

            next

        end

    next

end

4. Test Result.

• Port1 SLA failed. Port1 shuts down automatically.
