Hello, I have 2 classrooms A and B. A and B are connected to 2 different SW Catalyst 2960-X SWA and SWB. I don't manage those SW. Before A was in another VLAN V1 (DHCP) and B in VLAN V2 (fixed IP). I could wake up with WOL the A and B classroom from a PC in VLAN 1 et another in VLAN2 because there is no WOL routing accepted. Now, the 2 classrooms are in the same VLAN V1 (DHCP). I can wake up the A classroom but not the B classroom. The LED of the network card is blinking orange each second in classroom A and each 10-12 seconds in classroom B. If I put my own SW (default configuration) in classroom B, the LED is blinking orange each second and I can wake up the PC when they are power off. I check with wireshark and all the magic packets are correct. What's happening? - 2 different firmwares on SWA and SWB. - I known that the SWB doesn't give an DHCP address if I put my own SW. So is there a special configuration of the SWB which disable the port when a PC is power off. So the LED is blinking less and the magic packet doesn't get to the PC??? - I also read https://community.cisco.com/t5/switching/configure-wol-for-catalyst-2960-x/td-p/2989984 but I'm not a network administrator. I don't known what means a SVI???? Thank you in advance. Best regards ... View more

Hello, I have a computer room connected to a CISCO Catalyst 2960-X series (called switch-B) and my Wakeonlan server is connected to another catlyst 2960-X series (called switch-A). Those 2 switches are in the same VLAN. So I only use the layer 2 of those switches. All computers have an ASUS Prime H310l-Plus R2.0 motherboard. The length of the cable (categorie 6) is between 80 and 100 meters. My problem is that : I cannot wake up the computers with a magic packet sent by my wakeonlan server. So I did some tests: - If I connect a computer behind the same switch-A than the wakeonlan server, I can wake up the computer with a magic packet from my wakeonlan server.   - If I let the computer in its room behind the switch-B and I use another computer also connected to the switch-B, I cannot wake up the computer.   - If I install a Netgear ProSafe Plus Switch - GS108E (default configuration) between the computer and the switch-B, I can wake up the computer with a magic packet from my wakeonlan server (switch-A). I precise that I am not working in the Network Team, I am just a system administrator. So I have no access to the configuration of the switch-A and the switch-B but the Network Team assures me that everything is the same. May be, the problem is the electrical level? Can you help me please? Thank you very much. Best regards ... View more
