Default WoL Support on FreeBSD?
I am in verse to perform Wake on Lan (WoL) testing on FreeBSD.I tried to put the machine to go to Standby mode after 1 minutes of inactivity. Tried pinging the machine from remote machine. But the machine dint come up.

I remember I enable some settings for the same few months back related to WoL.
Anyone who can help me with the same?

  • Does your server network interface support WOL in FreeBSD? (which WOL options of ifconfig are active?)
    What's your server network configuration inside /etc/rc.conf?
  • Is there a firewall inside your network, which drops WOL related packets?
  • Have you tried some wol-clients like net/wol?

wol -f server
with the mac-address and broadcast address inside ./server in following format
Code:
00:aa:bb:cc:dd:ee 192.168.1.255
brings up my server after shutdown. I have not tried to wake up from suspend.
