For stopping PoE on an ERS switch you’ll first have to enter the configuration mode on your interface then issue the poe-shutdown command:

config terminal
interface fastethernet XX
poe poe-shutdown

Replace “poe poe-shutdown” with “no poe-shutdown” to reactivate PoE.

Open a case with Avaya Technical Support and tell them the base MAC or standalone switch MAC. They can generate a temporary password that will work in first 60 seconds after a reboot.
