Hi @FN,

The options mentioned below are for auto-recovering the APs when the Zone Director goes offline. 
When the ZD goes offline then the APs will reboot after the mentioned time below.

There is no option to schedule the reboot. You can reboot all the APs from the ZD CLI using the CLI commands below:

ruckus>
ruckus> en
ruckus# debug
ruckus(debug)# remote_ap_cli -A "reboot"

Thank you!

If the APs are managed by the Zone Director, then you can try the below command from the CLI of the Zone Director.

ruckus> enable
ruckus# debug
You have all rights in this mode.
ruckus(debug)# remote_ap_cli -A "reboot"

usage: remote_ap_cli [-q] {-a ap_mac | -A } "cmd arg1 arg2 .."
excute AP CLI command in remote AP
-A ; all connected AP's
-q ; do not show result
cmd ; Ruckus CLI, e.g. "get station wlan0 list"

There is no option to schedule the reboot. Please let us know once you have tried the above commands.

Thank you!
Amith

Hello Support Team. Does this solution work?

Is it possible to restart all my Ruckus APs at once?

Can I schedule them to restart once every 2 weeks?

Much better to explain need as per query from Keith above before trying this slightly non-intended feature use suggestion.

Have a look at Configure, Access Points, near bottom of page.

Set the "AP reboots if disconnected..." to 2min say then "apply" and unplug the network cable on your ZD and just wait a couple of mins and plug back in. You could check in the event/activities log that the APs had all restarted.

This assumes you can physically get to your ZD easily.

Don't forget to also change the "AP reboots..." to a more sensible number of minutes.
