WOL thru c2960 and c4500

[Jed Mk]

Hi,

need help with setup WOL thru c2960 and c4500.

Goal: setup WOL in same vlan.

c4500:
12.1(12r)EW
vtp operating mode: server
    vtp domain name: somename
          ip forward-protocol udp 7
                ip access-list extended vlan 18
                permit ip any host 192.168.41.168 any eq 7

c2960:
12.2(50)SE5

vtp operating mode: client
  vtp domain name: somename
       int fast0/3
       switchport access vlan 18
       switchport mode access

So,
the WOL server has IP .41.168 (vlan 18)
the WOL client has IP from range .40.0/23 (vlan 18)
the client has enabled WOL in bios, allowed udp 7 in firewall, allow WOL in windows, allowed Simple TCP/IP services.
the WOL server is using wake-on-lan by solarwinds
the WOL client and server are connected to switchports on same c2960

I cannot figure out why the WOL is not working.
On the c4500 in the access-list vlan18 I can see the packet match rising each time after try to WOL from wake-on-lan

Any advice please.

regards
JM

Hey I thought WOL used UDP for the port not ip

 permit ip any host 192.168.41.168 any eq 7

---- permit udp any host 192.168.41.168 any eq 7

I don't see all the config either have you set your broadcast statement for the acl under the vlan interface and the helper address setup for WOL

You may have seen this but if not good config guide for it

Hi,

yes, you're right it should be "permit udp host 192.168.41.168 any eq 7".
I have made a typo during typing.

I figured out my problem.
On some of L2 switches the vtp mode was set to server instead of client.
All other config related to WOL as already posted.
