yeah I am wondering if that isn't the easiest route to go though if there already is
one. I am waiting for an answer from Cisco. Cisco switches and routers can forward wol
packets sent over udp. But etherwake doesn't do that apparently.
So if I want to wake up machines from a central location, I either need to use something
else then ether-wake, or don't do it from a central location it looks like.
thanks,
Ron

Some switch hardware can generate the packets directly, negating the need for a box on every VLAN. Meraki hardware can do it, but you have to go through the dashboard so automating it isn't currently possible.
Here is some documentation on forwarding WoL on catalyst 3750 switches from Cisco: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/switches/catalyst-3750-series-swi...
