Turning on/off port with UDP command

[PaskB]

Hi all, I am no expert in network, I am learning.  I have this project here where I am using a cisco SF350-24p. And I have a device that interfere with another (outside the network) where to turn off the device on a specific port at a specific moment would give me access back to the other device.

I was wondering if there is a way to turn off a physical port(the physical rj45 port connected in the front) with a UDP command?

The device is connected and uses POE, so disabling the POE over UDP would also work.

Any hint on that would be greatly appreciated.

     - What do you mean by a 'UDP command' ?

udp command is used to send and receive UDP datagram messages over an IP network.

I use it to control equipment sending packets.  In example for a video projection connected on a network to power off at the end of the day thru an automated system.

                 - udp is  a data transfer protocol ,  you can not use it to control ports.

Hello,

SNMP uses UDP as transport protocol. Wake-on-Lan uses UDP as well, so in that sense, UDP can be used.

Which firmware version are you running ? It is a question of finding the corresponding MIB and then using an SNMP application to change the ifStatus OID.
