Solved Wake on LAN over different VLANS
-
@Tom-Elliott Ok so I installed and activated the plugin and when I click on it i am getting this:
You’re saying all I have to do now is name the broadcast whatever i want and then give the broadcast IP of what VLAN it is?
-
@szecca1 You need to instlal and activate the plugin of course. The last step is add in all your broadcast addresses with names (for simplicity all around)
-
@Tom-Elliott I completely understand and fully appreciate all your help. I just updated the trunk and got the wolbroadcast plugin installed. Is there anything else I need to do or technically now it should work?
@Joseph-Hales The Fog server is probably more authenticated than my computer is as it no longer needs to authenticate to out iPrism and my computer still does every so often. -
I suspect you are running some sort of traffic management device and the reason your desktop can wake on lan across vlans is that it is authenticated to the traffic shaper and the linux server is not.
-
@szecca1 when I refer to Trunk, i am referring to “SVN”, the current/latest development side of fog. Trunk is just a shorter term than constantly saying here’s 3559, or 3560, or so on and so forth. If you can Upgrade to trunk (the link is embedded here to the wiki article) you will have the WOLBroadcast Plugin. I did make a custom version of it for my work place as we had similar problems, but I don’t feel comfortable spreading that out with 1.2.0 having so many bugs in its nature. Hopefully you understand.

@ch3i Yes I am running goverlan from my machine which is on the 10.1 VLAN and FOG is a VM that also running on the 10.1 VLAN
-
@szecca1 Goverlan is on the same VLAN than FOG Server ? I ask you for that because in my network only one VLAN can WOL on other vlans.
-
@ch3i Yes, thats what is confusing. I tested today turning off a computer in a different vlan and then the computer woke right up with my wake on lan from Goverlan but wont do the same in FOG
-
-
@Tom-Elliott The wol broadcast plugin is not in the plugins for some reason so I cant install that
-
I apologize for the long delay, I have been very sick. I am running FOG version 1.2.0 and am able to Wake on LAn with a program call Goverlan.
I saw this on the wiki site
https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_use_the_wakeonlan_perl_script_instead_of_etherwake.exe
wasnt sure if that was relevant.
We are running Avaya and Nortel switches through our district and have opened the ports, at least we believe unless we are missing something. The wake on lan works on the same vlan but crossing vlans is wake it stops. -
@szecca1 And ensure you have configure your switchs for WOL across VLAN.
Cisco example : http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/switches/catalyst-3750-series-switches/91672-catl3-wol-vlans.html -
What version of fog? The trunk version has a plugin designed specifically for this. It’s called wol broadcast.
