Ability of InControl2 to Upload Specific Configuration Settings?

Product Discussion InControl
1

I get it that InControl is great for deploying mass changes to a complete configuration file (minus a few router specific settings).

However, is it possible to send mass-changes for only one or two specific configuration settings?
(ie: just changing the “Inactive Timeout” value for Captive Portal Settings or just changing the QOS Bandwidth Control settings without changing the other configuration items?

Ok, so this post is being ignored, or I am asking using the wrong context.

I noticed there is an API “Put” for “Update InControl options” (/rest/o/{organization_id}/g/{group_id}/ic_options)

Can someone provide a simple example of how to do this?

(i.e. I want to have the checkbox enabled for Bandwidth Control.
Advanced —> Bandwidth Control —> Enable.)

Thank You

Its not currently possible to set single specific configuration settings on a device via the IC2 API.

The API call you found is for group level IC2 options:

Hi Martin,

I too would be very interested to see this feature either through the InControl portal or via API. Can you share whether this is in the roadmap?

Thanks

I am not sure if you are aware of an IC2 feature called Bulk Configurator. It allows you to upload a config file and apply the config file to devices selected by tags. If your devices (with the same tag) share the same config and you want to change a few settings (e.g. Bandwidth Control) on them, the Bulk Configurator should serve the purpose.

Yes, we use Bulk Configurator. We see the following 2 limitations:

  • Requires managing a completely different template for minor changes between configurations
  • Configuration files do not work across hardware types (e.g. BR1 Mini vs BR1 MK2, etc…) even though the majority of configuration options are the same.

What would be preferable would be to use Bulk Configurator to deploy a “Base Configuration”, then use InControl to manage individual settings for an individual device or group of devices.
