Reload command

[Andy White]

Hello,

Is it possible to have a router schedule itself to reload every night or once a week?

We have some Cisco 3g wireless routers in remote locations and if we lose connectivity we have to get someone to power cycle the router to get the 3g working again.

I have added an SLA script to the router that pings Google and if it can't it will do a test on the cellular modem which will power cycle that part of the router only which may help.

With a local schedule reload on top of the SLA I'm sure it will be much more reliable.  I have a schedule tool that can do remote reloads but if the router is down then we are stuck and home the SLA works.

Thanks

Andy FYI - I posted a weekly emm applet and just noticed you are querying a daily one = @daily

Hi,

Did I do something wronf as this example didn't reload the router at 5am, event though it said it did, the show version confirmed this withthe uptime:

event manager applet ReloadRouter

event timer cron cron-entry "0 5 * * *"

action 1.0 cli command "wr"

action 2.0 cli command "reload"

(config-applet)#do sh event mana hist event

No.  Job Id Proc Status   Time of Event                   Event Type            Name

1    1      Actv success    Sat Feb 8 05:00:00 2014  timer cron      applet: ReloadRouter

2    2      Actv success    Sat Feb 8 06:00:15 2014  track             applet: cell_reset

Any ideas?

Hello

In your EMM applet - action 2.0 cli command reload

Try this instead and maybe add a day of the week also if applicable to you.

action 2.0 reload

Event manager applet reload
event timer cron cron-entry "0 5 * *6"
action 1.1 cli command "enable"
action 1.2 cli command "wr"
action 1.3 reload

Hello,

If I add a day of the week (6) it wouldn't be a daily reboot, or would I need to add each day as a separate action?

Andy,

You would need to add 0-6 for a daily reboot. Adding only 6 will reboot it only on Saturday.

HTH,
John

something like this?

Event manager applet reload

event timer cron cron-entry "45 14 * * 0-6"

action 1.1 cli command "enable"

action 1.2 cli command "wr"

action 1.3 reload

seemed it aborted:

4    4      Actv abort    Mon Feb10 14:45:00 2014  timer cron         applet: ReloadRouter

Yes, if you're wanting to reload every day at 2:45PM.

Again, if you're doing this in GNS, GNS will not show you a reload. You'd be better off testing another command like shutting down a loopback interface where you'll get some feedback to the console.

HTH,
John

Hi,

This test seemed to work

event manager applet DailyReload

event timer cron cron-entry "0 5 * * *"

action 1.0 reload

[Andy White]

For what ever reason this worked:

event manager applet DailyReload

event timer cron cron-entry "0 5 * * *"

action 1.0 reload

But if I use the "cli command" it is ignored.
