Schedule a reboot of a Meraki Device?

I know there's an on-demand reboot option, but is there not functionality in place to schedule a reboot to occur at a certain time? i.e. it would be nice to schedule reboots in the middle of the night.

Thanks!

No there isn't. You can use the API.@NolanHerringwrote a script and he shared it here:

Thanks for the quick response, I'll be "making a wish" next as this should be a simple feature to implement one would think. Especially since scheduling of firmware updates is already possible.

Thanks again!

A little bit more forceful and used probably more for single sites

from meraki.meraki import Meraki# Configuration parameters and credentialsx_cisco_meraki_api_key = 'your_api_key_here'client = Meraki(x_cisco_meraki_api_key)collect = {}network_id = 'L_networks_id_here'collect['network_id'] = network_idserial = 'mx_serial_here_with_dashes'collect['serial'] = serialresult = client.devices.reboot_network_device(collect)print(result)

This should be a feature. Example: We changed DNS to Umbrella on the MX and now the switches have a yellow status. Should reboot them during the evening but needs manual attention.

Def agree, the whole Meraki Dashboard is all about ease of use and clean UI, seems like a no brainer.

Can't believe that 3 years later this still isn't a feature. Would be an immense help for us.

Agreed - They've integrated Anyconnect into several MX devices now with new firmware (THANK YOU DEV TEAM!) but haven't integrated this simple option?

We have an MG21E which we use on remote sites. Defeats the purpose as we need to on site to reboot the device.
A simple reboot function when it fails to ping default DNS should solve this issue. This is common feature on most remote routers.

We have a vMX that keeps losing connection to a VPN every 24-30 hours (don't ask!!), which is fixed with a reboot, so being able to schedule a reboot every night would be one less task to do every morning!!!

Hi All , Bit late to the party but just to let you know we have now created a new app for this function that you can download on IOS or Android . You can create groups of Meraki devices from any Network / ORG and schedule reboot times . You can also reboot groups of devices at any time you want .https://meraki-rebooted.com/. Hope this helps 🙂

I'm for setting a schedule on my Outlook to tell me when to reboot something rather than pay a 3rd party to do that. The API option is also better. The best option would be for this to be integrated into the Meraki dashboard.

Yes, I agree it should be a built-in feature.

The only option to schedule a switch reboot is to schedule a firmware upgrade at the moment, which is not very useful if there is no firmware upgrade available.
