POE on/off?

[baylanger]

Hello,

What does this cli support so far? It's not obvious because I haven't receive my Netgear POE managed switch yet.

Can this cli turn on/off POE ports? If not, is it a lot of work to add? I can look into it but I'm no Go programmer.

Thanx.

Currently the CLI supports read operations only for most parameters. You can get a list for those via nsdp keys. PoE is not yet supported, but I could give it a try, so you can both read and write this option. 😊

@baylanger Which switch did you order? I could buy a PoE switch, but I don't really have a use-case for it. If you have your switch, I could implement this functionality if you commit to testing it.

I still haven't receive the switch... I went with a GS308EPP but if you don't need so many ports there's the GS305EPP.

I have tp-link eap660hd access points and they need PoE+ but cameras usually don't need so much power, perhaps a few high end/expensive options?! maybe a small 5W heater for winter time?!

Netgear has a few other models like 8 ports w/ 4 ports PoE (+ ?) .. can't recall if that one was managed or not.

tp-link has a few options as well BUT per reviews on amazon.com etc .. they're not rated as good as the netgear. What bugs me is that if this switch fails, I'm out of wifi but the AP came with power adapters. In worst case, I have a backup plan. Maybe not for my cameras and that's fine for me.

In Canada and in the US the GS308EPP is back order, the GS305EPP is available on a few sites. If you happen to find GS308EPP in Europe, let me know I might ask you to ship me one ;)

Oops ... forgot the last point. I see this is written in Go, I'm not a go guy but always wanted to learn it.

Let me first get the switch before starting any work :D , Newegg shows end of March to receive stock but last month the date was end of February. Delivery has already been pushed out at least once.

I'll be back ... hoping Putin doesn't nuke the world.

You are a gem! Sorry I didn't come back earlier. I am currently getting ready to move.

Just FYI, I will rename the repo and make it more general purpose while retaining the same functionality.

You could try to order from amazon.de. They seem to have it in stock.

Iam really looking forward for these features. Keep up the great work!

[baylanger]

My order hasn’t ship yet …. Still back order everywhere…. when it ships it will be obsolete and PoW will be available. That is Power over Wireless 😁

[nicklasfrahm]

@baylanger I have a confession to make. I bought the GS308EPP and I might implement this now. 😅

Honestly just bought the switch because it seemed fun.

[baylanger]

@nicklasfrahm fantastic. Looks like there are other people inline waiting for this, I mean .. they already have such a switch. I might get mine after you've added this new feature 🤔 or just next year?! 😢 With Silicon backlog, Netgear is likely prioritizing business products where they probably make more money.

FYI I did check on amazon.de and they won't deliver to Canada.

[nicklasfrahm]

I could send mine to you once I implement this feature. I don't have a timeline, but I have 0 usage for PoE haha. Literally just bought it to implement this feature.

[nicklasfrahm]

FYI, I am doing a major rewrite so that I can support multiple protocols in the future so this will take some time. Hope that is okay. If you urgently need this feature, I can postpone the rewrite.

[baylanger]

@nicklasfrahm thank you for the offer, I was quite busy last week. FYI I received an email from online store saying my item is still backorder … currently the date shows in stock May 26. Is it really going to ship this week?!?!

[Sylensky]

Do you have an ETA for the rewrite and this particular feature?
