@Wayne-Workman I put an email to my company because I didn’t want to try it and cause my entire network to go down. As soon as I hear from them I will give it a try

@cml I double checked and we already enabled that portion of the switch and still nothing. But I did find a configuration on the switch from broadcast addresses and nothing is listed. Do you think if I entered the broadcast address there,the passport would then allow the packets to pass through the VLANs?

@cml My layer 3 device is Nortel 8010

@cml You are correct, the top one is on the same vlan as the fog server.

I just ran wireshark on the bottom machine and ran wol from the fog server and wireshark didnt pick anything up

@cml

Ok i did exactly what you said. the top one is from a computer in the 10.1.x.x address and the bottom one which is the one that worked is from the 10.2.x.x address.

@cml
I attempted to do that and by the image you see I tried exactly the same thing and the computer doesnt turn on.
I have wireshark but have never used the program to know how to filter to wol

@Wayne-Workman I just downloaded this program and tested it exactly how you had asked and the computer wakes up perfectly fine. I then turned it off and attempted to wake on lan again from FOG and again to no avail. So you’re saying it’s a switch/router config thats to blame but I am not sure where that could be.

@Wayne-Workman “The three default subnet masks are 255.0.0.0 for Class A, 255.255.0.0 for class B, and 255.255.255.0 for Class C.”

From this my impression is we have a class B subnet mask but I could be wrong, but I dont think this matters as whichever class it is, wake on lan isnt working lol

@Tom-Elliott ok that makes sense, and I ran another test and still wake on lan is not working. At this point I am not sure what to do. The imaging works perfectly but the clients have to be on in order for the imaging to go through, obviously.

@Wayne-Workman As long as all you needed was a random IP address and the subnet that info is correct. The only thing weird is the website you sent is saying we are a class A even though we are a class B.

@Tom-Elliott Subnet mask is 255.255.0.0, class B

@Tom-Elliott I worked with @Wayne-Workman and he helped me figure that out by converting an IP address into that. Previous posts go through it and thats what we came to the conclusion it is.

@Tom-Elliott We already did that thinking it was a switch problem before doing this plug in

@Wayne-Workman

This is what I entered into that plugin creating it for my high school and just tested it and didnt work.

@Wayne-Workman And that broadcast address should allow me to run the wake on lan to the high school which is where that IP came from?

@Wayne-Workman Ok I am stuck using your example so I pulled a random IP from my high school.
Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
IP: 10.2.1.64

Binary IP Subnet:

00001010.00000010.00000001.01000000
11111111.11111111.00000000.00000000

(Client IP network portion: 00001010.00000010.0000 Client portion: 0001.01000000)

Which the fall through for the network address if I am correct would be:
00001010.00000010.00000000.00000000
which give a network address of 10.2.0.0

After that I am not sure where to go as I get confused by what you did.

@Wayne-Workman The 10.2.3.8 address that you used in your example, where did you get that from? Is that just a random IP of a client in the 10.2 VLAN or is that something in particular?

@Tom-Elliott I apologize in advance but where would I get this broadcast ip? Would this be the gateway ip from each building? I’m not sure where to pull this broadcast IP from?

@Tom-Elliott Ok awesome I will give that a try tomorrow and let you guys know how that works. I appreciate all the help.

@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?
