Lets say that the IP address of my FOG server is 10.0.2.50 and with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.

Please keep in mind that this is an over simplification VLANs and what they can do. You can have one physical hard drive but multiple partitions. The closest example I can give is a hard drive. VLANs take your one physical network and breaks it up into multiple logical networks. If you are not using VLANs, you don't have to do this. This post assumes that you are using virtual LANs or VLANs. (I also found a typo I made and fixed it too. I was recently asked to give a little more detail on this post. VLAN 2 is where my FOG server sits and the WOL packets it sends out are forwarded to VLAN 5. With a VLAN, that traffic is handled more efficiently by network switches. The traffic among devices split across two or more physical networks is usually handled by a network's core routers. VLANs can group client devices that communicate frequently with each other.

On the switch that is doing your routing, in my case, a ProCurve 5300 series switch, I typed the commands below. When set up correctly, virtual LANs improve the performance of busy networks. This way when the command is received by the RPI, it will use the ethernet connection to wake up the computer in question (or any compatible device on the. I don't know if it's because OpnSense doesn't allow broadcasts, or the router blocks it or what, but it resulted in nothing happening when I sent the WoL packet.If you are in a VLAN environment where you have HP ProCurve switches and want to Wake-On-LAN or WOL packets to be forwarded to different VLANs But what can I do?Īnd more importantly, what can I do in the next few hours, since I fly out of state tomorrow morning?Įdit: I thought I hit upon a solution after finding out that 255.255.255.255 is the UDP broadcast address, but putting that in the NAT rule didn't help. The closest thing I found requires using static ARP, which I learned (by totally locking myself out of web configuration and needing to restore from a backup) is a terrible idea. To set up VLAN membership, your adapter must be attached to a switch with.

But I CANNOT figure out how to forward a packet to a "broadcast" address in OpnSense. Create a Network Installation Startup disk from a Windows NT 4.0 Server and. You do not need TCP, only UDP, so change BOTH to UDP. The destination address (on your LAN side) MUST be the IP of the device you are trying to wake, NOT the broadcast address (.255).

WoL packets are therefore intended to be broadcast, so it doesn't matter that my PC isn't on and there's no IP assigned and all that. You need to port forward UDP port 9 on your router (any source port is fine, but it MUST resolve to port 9 on the LAN side). Now, WoL, as a concept, is designed around this. As far as I can tell, it's because if my PC is off for long enough, it drops out of the ARP table, and the firewall will no longer attempt to forward the packet, or perhaps it does but it doesn't go anywhere since there's nowhere to send a packet for that local IP. And it works! But eventually, it stops working. I set up NAT port forwarding to pass the WoL packet on to my PC's IP. Which sounds to me like a reasonably common thing to need. I want to be able to send a WoL packet from afar, so I can occasionally remote in and do things while away from home, without keeping my PC on constantly. I've scrounged everything I can from the internet about this and still don't have a good solution.
