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 On 5/18/20 9:33 AM, Rich Greenwood wrote: > Some switch hardware can generate the packets directly, negating the need > for a box on every VLAN.
