WOL with Nexus 7000

[dirks_2]

                   Hello everybody,

I would like to know wheter WOL is supported on a N7K with 6.x code and F2 line cards. I also would like a how to for this.

If it is not supported will an ip helper address to the broadcast address of the destination vlan SVI will suffice to get it workinng. If so I can restricht the forwarded broadcast to only the wol traffic.

Thanks

WOL is support in 5.2 forward. You can use ip directed-broadcast with ACL to define the source for WOL traffic.

Below is the command guide for reference:

Short of setting up WOL in the lab. I confirmed F2 L3 and SVI vdc supported the command.

Regards,

Dale
