Daily Recycle PoE Port

I have a problem device that runs off PoE.  It needs a daily reboot but has no capability to schedule one itself.  I set a schedule for the port in Meraki on the switch (MS225) to disable/enable but the PoE remains enabled during this process.  Am I missing a way to kill the PoE power to a port on a schedule?

@NWNSM1,

 

Technically, if you are enabling schedule to disable the port, the POE will be disabled too.

I am not a Cisco Meraki employee. My suggestions are based on documentation of Meraki best practices and day-to-day experience.

Please, if this post was useful, leave your kudos and mark it as solved.

Scheduling the port to disable should definitely kill PoE. What does the schedule look like?

The port shows offline but the device doesn't reboot.  If I manually enable/disable the port, it works (reboots the device).

That does look like it would work, but just above that does it show it is applied to the correct switch port(s)?

You could use the API call to recycle the switch port
