Can you cut electricity to a particular IP?
I have an IP camera that has gone haywire and keeps spinning. Rebooting the device doesn't fix it.
At this point, I'd just like to unplug the camera and maybe replug later.
It's powered through an POE switch, and I know its IP address.
But I don't know which of the 24 ports it is conected to.
Is there an easy way to figure out which port it's occupying through a web-based interface or something?

Not direct with the IP address. The MAC address is the key - you find it on the device, the product box, on the router DCHP table or connected devices list, or on your computer eg. by ping the IP address (# ping 192.168.12.34) and permitting it's still alive check the ARP table (# arp -a) ... looking for the IP address.
Then login to the switch, check the Address Table for the MAC address discovered - there is also the port. Then to the PoE port config on the switch, and change the port power from enabled to disabled.

as you know that the MAC is the key and you can never do it by yourself on the basis of the ip address. Also i am very experienced in this field if you are still confused please just let me know i will handle you all issues.
