Summary: This article provides instructions on how to temporarily deactivate and reactivate Power over Ethernet (PoE) on a port to reboot a device. This is useful in scenarios where you may have lost access to a particular device and it requires a reboot. When running this command, the Switch will stop providing power to the Switchport for a couple of seconds and then the power will return.
