CSCvo60795 - WAP371 Feature request: Scheduled reboots at intervals

PatrickOS · ‎08-15-2019

I use the following bash script run from another system as a workaround:

#!/bin/bash

# access point ip addresses separated by a space
APS="192.168.178.4 192.168.178.5"

urlcurl () {
        URL=$1
        DATA=$2
        COOKIE=$3
        curl $URL -s -H 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Intel Arch 6.0; rv:61.0) Gecko/20100301 Firefox/64.0' -H 'Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8' -H 'Accept-Language: de,en-US;q=0.7,en;q=0.3' --compressed -H 'Connection: keep-alive' -XPOST -H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' --data $DATA -b "sessionHTTP=${COOKIE}"
}

# Loop APs
for AP in $APS; do
  LOGIN_URL="http://${AP}/admin.cgi?action=logon"
  REBOOT_URL="http://${AP}/admin.cgi?action=reset_device"
  # Login
  SESSION=`urlcurl $LOGIN_URL "i_username=cisco&login=Log+In&i_password=stringencoded" | grep 'var cookieValue' | awk -F\" '{ print $2 }' | sed -e 's/^=//'`
  # Reboot
  urlcurl $REBOOT_URL "reboot-system=Reboot" $SESSION > /dev/null
  # wait for 60 seconds to reboot next
  sleep 60
done

You have to replace stringencoded with the encoded password string. You can get it with the Developer Tools of your browser during the login on the access point.
