Disabling PoE-out on Mikrotik rb951ui-2hnd

Installing and Using OpenWrt

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to disable PoE out on port of rb951ui-2hnd, which is enabled by default and I don't need it.
I've added this section to /etc/config/system:

# Disable PoE on port 5
config gpio_switch 'poe'
      option name 'POE'
      option value '0'
      option gpio_pin '2'

However, while booting the PoE is on for several seconds before hitting init script which reads this config.

I have two questions:

  1. Is it possible to boot without turning on PoE?
  2. Could this interval of turned on PoE damage connected non-PoE devices?

Thanks for your attention!

  1. Is it possible to boot without turning on PoE?
