Configuring WOL(Wake on LAN) Directed Broadcast across Layer 2 boundaries on Powerconnect switches
概要: Configure PowerConnect switch to enable Wake-On-Lan capabilities across Layer2 boundaries.

Description:
IT group needs to use application that utilized Wake-On-Lan (WOL) technology (directed broadcast) to administer PCs that are turned off or need to be restarted without any physical intervention. The solution needs to be able to cross Layer2 boundaries (Vlans).
IT group needs to use application that utilized Wake-On-Lan (WOL) technology (directed broadcast) to administer PCs that are turned off or need to be restarted without any physical intervention. The solution needs to be able to cross Layer2 boundaries (Vlans).
原因
Layer3 switch is not configured for broadcast.
解決方法
Solution:
Configure the layer-3 switch (in the topology below the 7048) with ‘ip netdirbcast’ and ‘ip helper-address’ directives.
*ip netdirbcast – enables inbound directed broadcasts into the vlan(from server to client)
** ip helper-address 2.2.2.255 9 (the IP address and UDP Port number to send the directed broadcast to.
Software used: Wake-on-LAN server - http://wol.aquilatech.com/ Wireshark – http://wireshark.org
The WOL server can be run on both PCs to confirm that the magic packet is being received. Wireshark can also be used with the filter of ‘wol’ https://wiki.wireshark.org/WakeOnLAN .
WOL uses a magic packet to that is sent to the MAC address of the PC – the PC needs to be configured for WOL. One key to look for is that the port the the PC (Device) is connected to must be active even when the connected device is powered off. The WOL service sends a special broadcast frame FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF – that includes the MAC address to be powered on. If the port is in a down state then the NIC of the connected device will never see the directed broadcast. If the port switch port does not have a link light when the connected device is powered off troubleshooting needs to start on the device itself – configuring WOL see this URL for some guidance: http://wol.aquilatech.com/help/troubleshooting/default.html.
