Our Cisco network (attached) will allow me to WOL computers across our subnets, but this will not work after 4 hours (in the morning).
Server with WOL software = 172.16.0.112
Example of workstation to wake = 172.16.10.*
I have done some research but I’m still not confident what settings I would need to change to get this working. What should I adjust and where - Arp cache, Unicast, direct broadcast?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, and will save the planet of energy wastage :)
Best regards

Thank you for the support.
I managed to get the WOL working simply by adding an IP Helper on the VLANs and Enabling Directed Broadcast on the edge switches.
Only problem now is Windows 8/10 no longer support WOL from S4 and S5 sleep states.
