Wake on LAN across VLANS

[rrrrr]

Tring to get WOL working across vlans.

WOL works fine on same vlan

Across vlans it is blocked

 

All switches are HP

There are no ACL's between the 2 vlans.

Can ping and connect to target PC's (when switched on)

Have enabled "ip directed-broadcast" on core switch

 

Any ideas?

If I remember rightly we had to put a IP Forward protocol on each vlan on each switch.

In fact looking at our config it says:

ip forward-protocol udp BROADCAST ADDRESS 9

TechMonkey is right you have to forward the UDP port that your WOL utility is using on the core switch, I found that mc-wol would use random ports so I used WOLcmd so you can specify the port.

 

Hope that helps.

Setting the wol port number worked. I assumed it would do it on port 7 or 9

In relation to this I am currently working on a WoL over multiple VLANs but I cant reconfigure the Core Switch without testing first...

 

So our HP Procurve test switch is reporting back that we must "Enable IP routing support" before it will allow me to use the commands.

This is my first time trying to sort out a switch to this degree. Its a little bit of a project for me.

 

So my question is will Enabling IP routing cause problems, IE I am not going to break our network by doing this because I believe that my network managers would be less than impressed xD

Where is your routing being done at the moment Markallanach?

 

Is the test switch connected to the same router?
