How to configure wakeonlan from one pc to another on the same vlan

How to configure wakeonlan from one pc to another on the same vlan and same subnet.

I have tried configuring a static entry in the  arp and mac address table without success.

A packet capture from the wol source only shows an arp request being sent.

Is there a way to accomplish this?

what is the device and IOs code running,  How is your config look like, what kind of end device ?

Look below document for reference.

Source is raspberry pi 4 with wakeonlan package installed. (apt install wakeonlan)

Destination is Dell R620 nic1 with wake on lan enabled in bios.

Switch Model - C2960L
IOS Version 15.2(5r)E3

 Below is config for both pi and R620 interface

switch.lan# show run int gi0/7
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/7
 description Raspberry pi
 switchport access vlan 20
 no lldp receive

switch.lan#show run int gi0/6
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/6
 description Dell R620 i
 switchport access vlan 20

end

Hello

First of all have you enabled WOL in the PC's nic cards?

Hello,

make sure the power management settings of your NIC are set as in the pictures attached (in addition to the WOL settings).

I only know etherwake for the Raspberry, but I assume wakeonlan works the same. I think you have to sudo the command from the server, it should look something like this:

sudo etherwake -i eth0 00:c0:ad:cd:ef:ce

Hello,

which Wake on Lan tool are you using (e.g. Nirsoft/Depicus) ?

Thanks for all the reply's.

On this Intel Gigabit 4 port NIC in this older Dell R620.

I had to Enable PME and disable Energy Efficient Ethernet by going to Device manager -> NIC 1 properties -> Advanced Tab.

Also, under the Power Management Tab in device manager, I checked "Only allow a magic packet to wake the computer".
