Router Configuration for Wake On Lan

admin_2

Level 3

We are using WOL successfully on individual segments of our network but cannot wake a PC if it is on a segment other than the management PC.

Our network consists of 2 - 6509's at the core and 40 fiber connected locations running 3500 gear. Each location is run as a VLAN and all routing is handled by the MSM's in the 6509's.

How do the MSM's need to be configured to pass the WOL requests?

WoL is a UDP packet dest. port 9. So try configuring 'ip forward-protocol udp 9' at the global config and 'ip helper-address [WoL server's ip]' on the interfaces clients are connected on your 6509s
