How to switch off and on POE on a device

[Entrust Dave]

Dear Sirs

I would like to switch off and back on again the POE function on one channel of my Cisco 2960 Catalyst switch.

I have a number of Latte Panda PCs attached and sometimes one may need to be powered down and powered up again without switching the entire switch off and back on. I can access the Management port and should be able to do this via this port.

I have trawled through some YouTube stuff but to no avail. I was wondering if I could limit the power going to a particular port and set it to zero watts and then switch it back to "auto". This, I think, could have the desired effect.

Is there a written procedure I could follow?

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Kindest Regards

go to interface
power inline auto

that will turn it back on

example of one I just did:

IDF_SW2.1(config-if)#int g4/0/41

​‌IDF_SW2.1(config-if)#power inline never

IDF_SW2.1(config-if)#power inline auto

Play around with some of the commands and see what works for your unique situation without really breaking anything of course.
