Resetting a PoE Switch Port Using Power Cycling

You can enable or disable a PoE port on an ICX switch using the Cycle PoE option in the RUCKUS One web interface.
Ensure that you have valid PoE-enabled ports to perform the power cycle operation on an ICX switch.
Complete the following steps to power cycle a PoE port on an ICX switch.
  1. From the navigation bar, select Wired. Under Switches, select Switch List.
  2. In the Switch List page, click the name of a specific ICX switch.
    The Overview page is displayed.
  3. In the Panel tab, click on a port. The Edit Port sidebar is displayed. Scroll down to the PoE settings.
    Alternatively, click the Ports tab and select a specific Port Number or multiple ports and then click Edit.
  4. (Optional) Click the Port Enabled toggle to ON.
    Attention: Disabling an uplink port will result in network termination for this switch.
  5. Click the PoE Enabled toggle to ON and click Cycle PoE. A success message is displayed that the port is power cycled.

    Regarding the behavior of power cycle operation on single and multiple PoE-enabled ports, refer to the Considerations section in Power Cycle a Switch Port by PoE.

    Note: Changing the PoE Class, PoE Priority, and PoE Budget fields could impact the power supply to the devices connected.
The switch logs will reflect the PoE port operations (enabled or disabled). You can see the switch logs from the switch CLI interface (Overview > More Actions > CLI Session) using the show logging | include PoE from the User EXEC mode. "Power enabled” log entry will appear only for the port that has a Power Device (PD) connected to it.

You may navigate to Administration > Timeline > Activities to view the entry for this action, such as the date and time of the action, and whether it was a success or failure.
