Can you restart a switch with PRTG?

I know you can restart a server or service using scripting and WMI for Windows, but can you do the same with switches? Can you restart a switch if a sensor for it enters Down state?

Hi,
no, by default this is not possible with PRTG. But as you are able to execute own scripts as Notification you might write a script which does restart the device and then just execute the same when the sensor is down.
Best regards
