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,

Hi, One alternative could be to schedule a task in XIQ-SE to bounce the PoE on the ports where the APs are located.

Keep in mind that if the APs lose communication with XIQ repeatedly to the point of needing a reboot, that's not normal; it would be good to investigate what's happening.

That's if they are running switches that are manageable via XIQ-SE. XIQ-SE has limited support outside Extreme switches (and even some limitations within Extreme switches).

And the advantage of scheduling the reboot on the AP is that the AP will do a graceful shutdown and reboot. Power cycling the PoE port is a more abrupt shutdown. I would only do that if the AP was unresponsive. That's like pulling the power cord to your computer to shut it down, which I hope we can all agree is not a good thing to do.
