Question

Does anyone know if it is possible to power cycle the USB port on the Fortigate 60 series routers?  I have a collection of 60D and 60E units with a verizon mifi USB dongle plugged in to them.  They are all at remote sites and i'd like to be able to reset them remotely, kind of like cycling a POE port to reboot an AP or camera.  Does anyone have experience with this?  Thanks!

    Hi thegewp,

     

    I was looking into this earlier on a FortiAP but it seems not to be the case that you can influence the power state of either devices USB port, they will always stay active.

     

    Best regards,
