Script to automate Meraki AP reboots on a schedule using an automation tool like CRON that can do multiple networks supplied in a networks.json file. The script expects the JSON configuration file path as the last command-line argument.

This script is based off the Meraki API documentation and the Script of DBMandrake on the MerakiTech Forums.

DBMandrake wrote a stand alone python script to do bulk AP reboots based on device tags, so that we can reboot either all AP's in the network, or AP's with a specific tag. It works with the current V1 API and current Meraki python module.

All the api calls were created using the Meraki API V1 Index at https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api-v1/api-index/

• Meraki Dashboard access
• Meraki API key
• Meraki Network ID
• Meraki Organization ID

1. Clone or download this repo

https://github.com/deawar/APReboot.git

2. Install required packages

python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Rename sample_config.env and edit .env file as follow:

└── APReboot/
+   ├── .env
    ├── requirements.txt
    ├── sample.json
    └── AutoAPReboot.py  

4. Edit the sample_config.env file and rename to .env file, add the following variable:

#.env
---
apiKey = "Your_API_Key"

5. Edit the sample.json file or the networks.json file and add your network info:

[
    {
        "networkId": "L_networkId",
        "organizationId": "organizationId1",
        "orgName": "Name_of_Org_Houseing_APs_to_be_Rebooted",
        "tags": ["<tag-name>"]
    },
    {
        "networkId": "L_networkId2",
        "organizationId": "organizationId2",
        "orgName": "Name_of_Org_Houseing_APs_to_be_Rebooted",
        "tags": ["<tag-name>"]
    },
    {
        "networkId": "L_networkId3",
        "organizationId": "organizationId3",
        "orgName": "Name_of_Org_Houseing_APs_to_be_Rebooted",
        "tags": ["<tag-name>"]
    }
]

6. If no JSON file is provided, or if it fails to load, an error is printed, and the script exits. Now you can run the code by using the following command:

python3 AutoAPReboot.py -ALL config.json
or 
python AutoAPReboot.py networks.json

If you have added Tags to your AccessPoints then this will find them and report them in the inital output. Suggested format , where orgName is the name of the organization of the AP's you want to reboot. The output should be as followed:

$ python AutoAPReboot.py networks.json

Processing network '<orgName>' (Network ID: <networkId>)...
