Cisco EEM: Auto Interface Descriptions
These are my own versions of the ever-evolving Port Description EEM applet for Cisco IOS/IOS-XE; based on Joe Clarke's Cisco Communities thread, Automatically Set Port Descriptions.

Cisco Smart Install - IOS-XE Stack Auto-Allocation
This was created for and used with FreeZTP, but can likely be used with any Jinja2 templating system.
When this snippet (located at the bottom of this post) is added to a Jinja2 template it will automatically build out an EEM applet that will set switch priorities and renumber all switches in the stack according to how they were allocated in the FreeZTP keystore.
Cisco Smart Install - IOS-XE Upgrade Caveat
This was created for and used with FreeZTP, but can likely be used with any Jinja2 templating system.
IOS-XE 3.7.4 cannot upgrade to 16.3.6 via smart-install because new force isn't appended. This workaround utilizes EEM applets in a Jinja2 switch template to download install the updated image.
