Hi rlibrizzi,
Can you try this commands to turn PoE off/on?
Turning Off PoE
uci set poe.port1.poe_enable='0' && uci commit poe && reload_config
Turning On PoE
uci set poe.port1.poe_enable='1' && uci commit poe && reload_config
The only difference is that we are saving the ‘poe’ instance using uci commit
command.
Let me know if this helps.
Regards.
