Restart up to 16 AP's with one script ?

RouterOS Scripting
1

Hello Everyone.

First of all, here is my Setting and what i am using.
I have got an Wireless LAN Network, including 16 APs, which are shared
On 3 different Levels in Our Building. And one MikroTik RB2011UiAS-2HnD-IN
which is connected in my Switch Rack.
I have configured two V-LANs, one for our Network and one for guests.
It works perfectly.
Now here is my Question ( Problem ).
From time to time, I have to restart all the AP’s, after I have changed some settings.
My MikroTik RB2011UiAS-2HnD-IN is my “Mothership”.
So. Is it possible, that I can create a script that all the AP’s restart automatically aso soon
I save the new config ? Or, can I activate a script on my MikroTik RB2011UiAS-2HnD-IN
That sends a signal to all AP’s to restart ?
At the Moment, I have to restart every AP individually.

I thank everyone 4 any help.

Many thanks from Germany.

Why not just write a bash script to send the command via SSH to each AP?..

You can make a script on master router and send remote command like here:

Hello again.

First of all, I have found a solution.

I think my first Idead, restarting all the APs from my Router with one script
was not really realisable.
So i thought in an different way.
What, if the APs restart on their own.

So, i was browsing a little bit this Forum and found this Post.

http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/how-to-auto-reboot-if-remote-ip-down-for-5-minutes/51201/1

Now i am using this script with some different values.
This Script is from the User: TomjNorthIdaho

:if ([/ping 192.0.2.254 interval=5 count=60] =0) do={
log info “Restarting APs” ; /system reboot
}

and the Settings 4 Netwatch

/system script run ScriptName-192.0.2.254


So.
The IP is my Router.
And as soon i restart my MikroTik Router, the AP’s cant Ping him anymore
and they all restart.

Second of all, i want to thank you all, 4 the Ideas and especially TomjNorthIdaho 4 his Script.

So your pings are becoming keepalive signals.. literally :astonished:
