How to Completely Power Off Device on CLI

Wed Jan 05, 2022 11:10 am

Hi there folks,

I'm trying to power off my NetMetal 5 without cutting the power of the PoE cable. I tried:
/system shutdown
command but after shutdown command, it seems device is still consuming power. I just want to know that, is there a way or a command on CLI to completely poweroff the device without disconnect the PoE cable?

It is not possible for mikrotik devices, this only works for x86
The mikrotik products will simply power on again

... is there a way to make it reboot also after a remote shutdown? (after "/system shutdown" Not "/system reboot")
Wake on LAN ?
Now I do reset the PoE out port of the switch.

Power self-cut is property of ACPI boards ... MT hardware doesn't have it.

Behaviour was identical on pre-ACPI x86 boards: shutdown did everything, but at the end CPU entered an endless idle loop and one could only break that loop by either cutting the power or by pressing physical reset button. Wake-on-lan is ACPI feature as well. Reset button that actually performs (graceful) reboot is yet another ACPI feature, in good ole days reset button tripped reset on CPU without anything further.

So cycling power on PoE switch is the only remote way of rebooting device which was shut down.
