Reboot AccessPoints over WLC4404

[Kevin Haag]

HI,

We have two Cisco Wireless Controller 4404 with the IOS Version 7.0.220.0 and a lot of accesspoints (ca. 170). Now i wan't to reboot a group of Accesspoints where i found over a filter... Is this possible?

Or how can i reboot all the AccessPoints at the same time over the Controller Interface? Is it possible?

I only found the option in the WebGui where i can reboot 1 AccessPoint at the same time with "hardware reset"... but it would be a bit annoying to reboot it all by hand

Thank you for your reply!

Best regards
Kevin

You can run this command on the GUI: config ap reset

So what I do is put the ap names in excel and then combine the command with the name and then just cut and paste.

Thanks,

Scott

Kevin,

Glad it worked for you... I usually script a lot of this because it tends to be easy than using the GUI. I think the only thing I use the GUI for that is easier than a script is placing AP's in an ap group. But I do still script that piece. Learn some of the CLI commands and it can be fast to do many things. Also having WCS/NCS/Prime Infrastructure can help too.

Hi Scott,

Usually i configure all Devices over the CLI. But in WLC i don't have much know how, how to configure it over the CLI ;-)

But i will learn it :-)

It's takes some time to figure out what commands need to be entered first, but the commands are all listed in the reference guide. Here is one for the v7.0
