Wake on LAN issue - help setting up?
-
I haven't configured anything for the WoL functionality, just spinned up Wireshark on the server and client.
If I try to send a WoL packet from server to itself, WS detects it.
If I try to send a WoL packet to a PC on different VLAN (which should use the WoL Relay functionality, I think) the WS on server doesn't detect any outgoing WoL packet. The same applies for PCs on the same VLAN.The ApplicationLog throws errors like these:

We use L3 Cisco Catalysts in our environment, they should be correctly set up, as I can send WoL packets from my PC to the TOEM server, which are in different VLANs. On my PC I used Wake on LAN 2.12.4 by Aquila Technology.

WOL uses other PC's managed by Toems. It looks for a pc on that network, and sends the WOL from that computer. If it can't find one, it uses the WOL relay, but you need to set it up.
