GS728TP Enable/Disable Port on a Schedule

Can I set up the switch to automatically enable and a specific port on a schedule? For example, enable port at 0700, disable port at 1200, enable port at 1500, and disable port at 2000.  I'm looking to control not only PoE, but traffic as well.

Thanks

    The switches doesn't have the capability to enable / disable the ports by schedule. If you want, you may suggest or recommend it in our Ideas Exchange for Business board. NETGEAR is open for any recommendations.

      Thanks for the reply,

      I guess I'll just pick up the cheapest 4-5 port switch I can find and set up the power supply for it on a outlet timer like you'd use on christmas lights.  It might not be as refined as I'd like, but the simplicity and reliability will be hard to beat.

        indebridge,

         

        I agree with you on that. May I know what is your purpose of having the ports to be scheduled?
