Control the POE state of individual ports

[00u1ndmseuHXATI5E5d7]

Hello,

We have purchased multiple  CBS250-16P-2G switches to test a new system for a client. We want to be able to individually control the POE state(POE enabled/disabled) of a given port (1-16) via a telnet interface. We have tried the following command sequence but it either causes all the channels to be on or off instead of the specified port only.

To turn off power to port:
enter into config mode with config

switch794ffa#config
switch794ffa(config)#

tell the switch what port you want to configure with interface fa##

switch794ffa(config)#interface fa1
switch794ffa(config-if)#

replace ## with the port number that you want to change the PoE on.

This turns off PoE to the port selected:
switch794ffa(config-if)#power inline never

wait ~50ms

This turns on PoE to the port selected:
switch794ffa(config-if)#power inline auto

leave the interface with exit

Note that the above sequence does not work. Can anyone make any suggestion as to how to actually accomplish controlling individual ports POE state without affecting other ports?

Thanks

This is actually the right way to do this. If it is not working, this can be a switch problem.  On switch like 3650, 3850, etc this work perfecly with the command power inline never and affect only the port you apply the command.

Thank you Flavio.

I will investigate the issue further using another switch (new out of the box CBS250-16P-2G) and will see if it has the same behavior.
