Hi I’m looking into incorporating a mass reboot script into some of my networks. I’d like some help on it as I only have the idea of how to do it.
------Idea-------
I’m looking for a way to have a script running always in the background that listens for a specific key incoming from one of the ports (E2 for most) and when that’s heard it restarts the router. That key would be forwarded from the “Master” Station (currently the 1st router after the modem), on prespecified addresses (only the routers, or a specific batch of them later on). I know I’m probably going the wrong way about this, but I need it fully customisable for future use.
------Problem-------
Now the actual problem. I couldn’t find any commands (without the use of a computer) that push message to a specific address or a command that listens on it. So I’m looking for a script for this. Pretty much a multicast command that triggers the listening routers to reboot. Haven’t started working on it, I’m still in the research part and just wondering if I’m going about it wrong.
Thanks
