PoE Switch (RFC 3621) on a Mac

Managed PoE switches & controllers; port power, budget & cycling · Routers & Firewalls

FrontierStack's Power over Ethernet pane controls the devices that have no power button; access points, cameras, door controllers, desk phones; through the switch port that powers them. It speaks the standard POWER-ETHERNET-MIB (RFC 3621) over SNMP, which nearly every managed PoE switch implements (Cisco, Aruba/HPE, Ruckus ICX, Zyxel, D-Link, NETGEAR Smart Managed Pro), and the vendor APIs of Ubiquiti UniFi, TP-Link Omada, MikroTik RouterOS, NETGEAR Smart Managed Plus and Cisco Meraki, which also report what each port powers. Per port: on/off and a proper power cycle (native where the switch has one); per switch: Cycle All to restart every PoE device at once. Link a device to its port from the device page or Power Control and it can be power-cycled; automatically too, after failed health checks. Cloud-only systems without a public API (Aruba Instant On, Zyxel Nebula, NETGEAR Insight, EnGenius Cloud, Grandstream GWN, RUCKUS One, D-Link Nuclias) can be added as web-only entries: linked devices get a link to the portal instead of a cycle button. Switches and controllers can be pinned with your devices and on Places.
