Scheduled Reboots - Possible yet?

[DeVoID]

Does anyone know if its possible yet to set a reboot schedule for AP's?  Last I remember it was suggested to do some kind of python script against their API - not happening -... I was hoping it might have got introduced into the XIQ management console by now.  thanks,

Yes, it is very easy to do scheduled reboots of the APs. We reboot our APs on a weekly schedule. You just use the Supplemental CLI. We've been doing this since the beginning of XIQ. Just go into the Wireless configuration of your network policy and turn on Supplemental CLI (or you can do individual APs by doing a Supplemental CLI on the particular APs). Add the command to schedule the reboot.  For example: "reboot schedule weekly every 1 week(s) Saturday time 00:30:00" configures the APs under this network policy to reboot every week on Saturday at 12:30 AM.

Supplemental CLI has been a part of XIQ from the beginning. I'm not sure why you were told a scheduled reboot would need to be done via a python script against their API.

There is no action in XIQ to just reboot APs, but you can schedule a 'complete configuration' push.

What do you mean there is no action in XIQ to just reboot APs? In Devices, select the AP(s) then click Actions, then Reboot. Also, under Actions you could go to Advanced->CLI Access and issue the reboot command while SSH'ed into the AP.

Yup, knew about that one.  Its just there have been times when I do that and the AP becomes unresponsive and goes offline in XIQ, but is pingable and I have had to SSH into them and run the command "reboot current/backup" to get them back online, and Ive even had that fail and had to find the switch port it was in and unplug it.  With 182 AP's, I dont want to risk it.  But thanks anyway, appreciate your reply.  Say hi to SamPirok if you share an office... he's a good guy too.   J
