Wake Up on Lan Ns7
Created: 10 Jun 2010 | 3 comments
Hi
I'm having troubles configuring Wake Up on Lan on NS7.
Bios is configured
Thickle/Energy is activated on Altiris Client
Server an Client are in different Subnets but other active Clients are in the sam subnet.
I'm using the default preconfigured Wake up on Lan Job/Task.
Vpro ist not activated/configured on the Client
What am I missing? I found a lot of Hints for NS6 but nothing for Ns7

In V6, there was a process where the NS found a local subnet "proxy" to send the magic packet for it. In V7, this is sent directly by the NS, so it needs to be able to traverse routers and switches (layer 3)
Thank You. We will try this.

WOL Relay
In case anyone else comes across this post, I believe the answer given here, isn’t completely accurate, as NS7 will still relay/proxy WOL requests across subnets, without broadcast traffic permitted between networks. I have tested this, expecting it not to work (on CMS 7 SP2 MR1) but it did work, incidentally I have no task service on the remote subnet. Here is an example entry created in the logs when a Power Management Wake on LAN task -
