Nexus 7000 Wake on LAN

[Mokhalil82]

Hi 

I am trying to implement the Wake on LAN feature on a network where the WOL server is a Virtual Server with the gateway on a Nexus 7k. 

The destination subnets site on the N7K and some other layer 3 Cisco switches. Has anyone implemented WOL on the 7Ks. 

I understand that IP helper and ip forward protocol are not available on the N7K. Could I use ip dhcp relay to achieve the same as the ip helper. How do I enable forwarding of UDP packets as IP Forward-protocol command is not available on the 7Ks

Thanks

'ip helper-address " has been replaced  with "ip dhcp relay address " on the NX-OS.
Also note teh following
- DHCP command-line interface (CLI) configuration and verification  commands are not available until you enable the DCHP feature with the "feature dhcp" command.
- The DHCP service is not enabled by default, whereas it is enabled by default in Cisco IOS Software.

The support for ip forward protocol is not available on the Nexus yet. This support will be available in future. The workaround for it could be to use the ip directed broadcast configuration.
More information could be gleaned from the link below-
