Scheduling Upgrades w/Dude during Maintenance Hours

Tue Nov 22, 2011 8:22 pm

Hi,

We use AirControl for our UBNT products, and can schedule devices to be upgraded at a certain time, such as 2:00AM. I just installed The Dude, and have 100's of devices I would like to take to 5.8, of course while everyone is sleeping.

As powerful as The Dude software looks, I'm sure there's a way to do this, but I just can't figure it out. Any help on how to do this?

Thanks

I'll take everyone's silence as "no, this cannot be done".

Such a good piece of software gone to waste...

Hi,

there is no scheduler for Dude, but you can use Dude to manualy upgrade large ammounts of devices. But be carefull. I did last network upgrade using Dude and many devices "died" because wirelles package didn't upload correctly and during upgrade it didn't install. I had to upload it manualy to every dead device over ethernet. Using routeros package is better. You have full upgrade or nothing. Now I'm trying to setup auto upgrade mirror in RouterOS, but I had to set password manualy on each device so I asked at different thread for help with password and I'm waiting for answer.
