Greetings, I have this line that is tossing up an error. :if ($http!<=99) do={ syntax error (line 16 column 24) The indicator is that the < is a problem. If I change it to >, the code works correctly, but not as I want, I need "not less than".... ROS 6.33.5 on a CRS109 Regards Brian

I need help to setup a script that will reset a customers CPE and then run a edited custom script with SSID of AP + NV2,etc setting to reassociate with AP.

My bad. I thought you were requiring assistance with CPE reset and config.

We use a pre-configured .rsc file to load our full config to new CPE's (i.e default or no configuration). As we run on static IP's, we use a text editor like notepad to "find and replace" the IP addresses/client side DHCP server info, so we can config 10-15 units in an hour. We have failov...

EarthStation

Is open to abuse by users giving themselves (as yet not limited) static IP's (rinse repeat) But better than no limiting at all for now. Thanks again :) You could set the arp to "reply-only" on the AP interface, which will ensure that only DHCP issued addresses are allowed to operate. Will...

You don't need the scripts. Put the code you have in those scripts, in the scheduler in place of the code you are using to call the script. Keeps it simple.
