Re: [pfSense Support] Wake On LAN - Now Works on 1.2.3 Embedded!
Motherboards (and ethernet cards) that are PCI 2.2 (or above) should support PME (Power Management Events) signals to be sent back and forth without the need for a WOL cable. For that to happen you sometimes need to enable PME in the BIOS (sometimes called Enable Wake On Lan) along with Reserve Power for PCI Cards which keeps the PCI cards powered up during ACPI/G1 or G2 states (Sleep, hibernate or shutdown). mitch Peter Todorov wrote: What you do on client machine?

Re: [pfSense Support] Wake On LAN - Now Works on 1.2.3 Embedded!
Here is my expierence with wake on lan. The bios and the operating system have to be configured to put the nic into the proper state upon shutdown sucht hat can be awaken by a wol packet. In windows u need to modify the nic in device manager and enable this feature. If the pc looses total power, ie. the power plug pulled from the source and then re-pluged in, wol may not function.

We weren't on FreeBSD 7.1 for long, so it's possible there were also problems with it in that build. Nothing changed in our code related to that since 1.2 or 1.2.1, but the binary could have been non-functional for some reason that wasn't detected since we weren't on 7.1 for long. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org

I believe it is driver dependant, although most xp installs I've looked at have it enabled by default. Most linux installs I've looked at have it disabled by default. I think it has to do with whether the OS powers off the NIC completely when shutting down. For WOL to work, the NIC has to be left in a powered state after the OS has shut down, hence the driver setting. And yes, it must also be enabled in the BIOS. This applies to waking from sleep (S3) as well as off (S5) AFAIK. db - To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org

Re: [pfSense Support] Wake-On-Lan
i use the freebsd port net/wakeonlan. i wake up my extra workstation, my dev vmware server, and my backup server with a cron job every morning. 55 7 * * * root/usr/local/bin/wakeonlan -i 192.168.125.127 00:20:ed:35:dc:61 00:07:e9:18:79:e9 00:30:48:21:fd:ea /dev/null 21 i think the wakeonlan binary also supports inputting from a list of mac addresses, when your list gets too long to manage from a single cron line. just call the binary and its list, and off you go. the man will tell you all about it. cheers, jonathan On Thursday 21 December 2006 04:18, Josep Pujadas i Jubany wrote: On Thu, 21 Dec 2006 10:18:28 +0100, Holger Bauer wrote Did you see the wake all clients at once button above the list at serviceswake on lan? You also have an option to quickly add wake on lan clients at statusdhcp leases (check buttons at the right), at least if the pfSense is your dhcp server. Holger Holger, No, I did'nt see it. But I would like something more sophisticated, automatica with schedule. Nice buttons, but no enough for our needs ...

Re: [pfSense Support] Wake-On-Lan
It uses php code:
/f* pfsense-utils/WakeOnLan
* NAME
* WakeOnLan - Wake a machine up using the wake on lan format/protocol
* RESULT
* true/false - true if the operation was successful
**/
function WakeOnLan($addr, $mac)
{
$addr_byte = explode(':', $mac);
$hw_addr = '';
for ($a=0; $a 6; $a++)
$hw_addr .= chr(hexdec($addr_byte[$a]));
$msg = chr(255).chr(255).chr(255).chr(255).chr(255).chr(255);
for ($a = 1; $a = 16; $a++)
$msg .= $hw_addr;
// send it to the broadcast address using UDP
$s = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, SOL_UDP);
if ($s == false) {
log_error(Error creating socket!);
log_error(Error code is '.socket_last_error($s).' - .
socket_strerror(socket_last_error($s)));
} else {
// setting a broadcast option to socket:
$opt_ret = socket_set_option($s, 1, 6, TRUE);
if($opt_ret 0)
log_error(setsockopt() failed, error: .
strerror($opt_ret));
$e = socket_sendto($s, $msg, strlen($msg), 0, $addr, 2050);
socket_close($s);
log_error(Magic Packet sent ({$e}) to {$addr} MAC={$mac});
return true;
}
return false;
}

[pfSense Support] Wake on Lan
Running 94.2 on a Wrap at the moment. Not sure if this was fixed in a newer release. But I noticed the Wake All Clients button in the WOL config doesnt seem to work. I have a few servers (Dell PowerEdge) that wake up fine a few seconds later after clicking the MAC address, but will never come up when using the Wake All button. Let me know if you need more info. Thanks John
Re: [pfSense Support] Wake on Lan
When you click on the wake all button, do you see something like: Sent magic packet to MAC-ADDRESS-1 Sent magic packet to MAC-ADDRESS-2 ... etc?

RE: [pfSense Support] Wake on Lan
Clicking on a MAC would show that. Clicking on the Wake all does not show it.
