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

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

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

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.
