I have asked for this feature at least 6 years ago yet no one has done anything about it. They have just made excuses even though it should be a feature. Yes, you can achieve this function through other ways if you have access, but it doesn't make it less important of a request to some. I also mentioned this needs to be part of the API. ... View more

I asked about this functionality back in 2017. Heck the people that were working on the development of the API at the time no longer work for the company! Its pretty bad that they can't add the ability to delegate the functionality of rebooting APs through the API in bulk or even singular for that matter! Actually, you can't delegate any functions from the Web GUI besides a "Super Admin" or "Read Only". Furthermore if you want to build your own roles using the API to build delegation they don't even have methods that support this!   We are a longtime Meraki customer with thousands of APs! Please listen to the customers wishes!   https://community.meraki.com/t5/Solutions-APIs/API-Call-to-Reboot-AP/td-p/5863     ... View more

Colin,   In the default settings when you do this operation it add a tag to all of the AP's ( recently-added ). Do you have any way of dealing with this side effect? Though this is a possible workaround, I think actually having a specific call to reboot the AP is warranted ( much cleaner way of preforming the action).    One other thing that would be nice (nothing to do with the API) is the fact when you reboot an AP it doesn't log an event for this action. I know you can have it send you a notification (gateway goes offline for 5 minutes or more). In most cases on a reboot the AP will be back online in less time than the threshold.   -Andy ...

Cory,   I would love to share some of the limitations of the API with you in a large Meraki implementation. Since Meraki has not built a security model to delegate administrative features customers have to look to building their own Administration Dashboard, but with the current API limitations this isn't even possible, or should I say worth the time for the functionality (result).   -Andy ...

API Call to Reboot AP

This functionality is needed for a multitude of reasons. I first suggested this via "Make a Wish" on the Meraki Dashboard interface almost a year ago. I reached out to my sales representative last February and requested this functionality though the proper channel. I have been trying to understand why others have not spoken up about lacking this feature.   I have also posted this request to the GitHub for the Meraki provisioning library. (https://github.com/meraki/provisioning-lib/issues/3)   Reasons this functionality is needed:   Delegated Administration - Since Meraki doesn't have any delegated functionality at the item level their is no way to give a user access to reboot AP's in a network besides making them a "full blown" administrator. Reboot Scheduling - Ability to schedule the reboot of an AP at a certain time. Bulk Reboot - Ability to enumerate AP's from list and reboot them with one click. ... View more
