Disable wireless interface on the router during the night.

below A use full script to disable your wireless internface during the night. Me and my colleague are testing if we can use this also for a fallback and if we found that I will publissed that one.

event manager environment _disable_ifname dot11radio0

!

event manager applet DisableInterface

event timer cron name DisableInterface cron-entry “0 22 * * *”

action 1.0 cli command “enable”

action 1.1 cli command “configure terminal”

action 1.5 cli command “interface $_disable_ifname”

action 1.6 cli command “shutdown”

!

event manager applet EnableInterface

event timer cron name EnableInterface cron-entry “0 7 * * *”

action 1.0 cli command “enable”

action 1.1 cli command “configure terminal”

action 1.5 cli command “interface $_disable_ifname”

action 1.6 cli command “no shutdown”

!

event manager applet EnableAfterReload

event timer countdown name EnableAfterReload time 10

action 1.0 cli command “enable”

action 1.1 cli command “configure terminal”

action 1.5 cli command “interface $_disable_ifname”

action 1.6 cli command “no shutdown”

The first part:

event timer cron name DisableInterface cron-entry “0 22 * * *”

The numer 22 is the clock time. This can you change. The script is based on a 24h clock.

event timer cron name EnableInterface cron-entry “0 7 * * *”

The numer 7 is the clock time. This can you change. The script is based on a 24h clock.

Cisco Router High CPU Usage notification

user global HighGlobalCPU

event manager applet ReportHighCPU

event resource policy “HighGlobalCPU”

action 1.0 cli command “show process cpu sorted 1min | exclude 0.00″

action 1.1 info type routername

action 2.0 mail server “<exchangeserver>” to “administrator@<domainname>” from “info_Cisco_Router<type>@<domainname>” subject “CPU @ $_resource_current_value” body “$_cli_result”

So when the router has a high cpu usage. you will get notified with an email like below.

Cisco UC520 connection to Unit 4 Multivers

This article goes about the Connection between a Cisco UC 520 and Unit 4 Multivers. Used with a very handy software program. Which was be found by my colleague at work found. And I used it today for testing.

The program called Telefoon Assistent Lite ( Dutch program ) of the developers of www.suppliance.com
The program is suitable with Unit 4 Multivers ( Financal administrative program. )

Incoming Call

I have test this program with a Cisco unified Call Manager ( The UC 520 ), Unitf 4 multivers and the Cisco Unified Call Manager TSP. Which i had already. I can’t remember if i had it with the Call Manager 6 of downloaded from the internet at the cisco site.

I configured on the UC 520 a Extension Mobility user which I used to configure the Cisco TSP ( Tapi connector in windows )

Program’s needed and and hardware
Hardware:
- UC 520 version
- Few Ip phones ( e.a. 7942 / 7962 )

Software:
- Telefoon Assistent lite ( Telephony Assistent Lite )  ( http://www.telefoonassistent.nl/?download )
- Cisco UC TSP ( Tapi Connector for windows ) ( which you can find at the download site of cisco ) ( * you need a CCO account )
- Unit 4 Multivers ( latest version )
- Windows based computer ( Tested on a Windows XP Professional with SP2 )

We tested it and it worked. ( Earlier this year my employer had a reaction of Cisco NL that a TSP didn’t worked on a UC 520. Unfortunally in the mean while it may be fixed by cisco or the were wrong )

If you need help with this sollution please do not hesitate to contact me.

Passed the 5000 Views

It’s for me the first time when i made a weblog which had more than 5000 views. By this opportunity I wrote this message.

Also I like to announce that I try to post more bulletins in the next couple of weeks / months. I hope to do this when I found some interesting stuff to share

Best Regards,
