Save to the startup configuration via GET/POST request, or any other programmatic method, for the Axis D8208-R PoE switch

[dem0278]

Hello everyone,

I know this might be a long shot, but I’m hoping someone here might have a solution.

I’m looking to use VAPIX commands to enable/disable PoE on a switch port, which is straightforward enough. However, the problem is that I need to save these changes to the startup configuration. Unfortunately, the VAPIX library doesn’t seem to have any documented functionality for this.

I also haven’t been able to figure out a quick workaround by inspecting the UI and replicating the requests made in the background during user interaction, as the process relies on JavaScript activation.

I’d be grateful for any advice or guidance on this. Thanks in advance!

Use VAPIX to turn PoE on or off for a port: https://help.axis.com/en-us/axis-d8208-r-industrial-poe%2B%2B-switch#use-vapix-to-turn-poe-on-or-off-for-a-port

Thank you. Unfortunately, that doesn't help in my situation because the port state change using this method is not persistent after a device restart.

Hi @dem0278 ,
I know this device have documentation in VAPIX®.

I suggest if these APIs have some bugs/enhancement needed then you can report them using Axis online helpdesk 😄
