#Wakeonlan linux mac#
For example, in my computer the MAC address is 00:aa:11:bb:22:cc. To use Wake-on-LAN we need to identify the NIC MAC address. ethtool is an utility for examining and tuning ethernet-based network interfaces.
#Wakeonlan linux install#
Take emerge for a spin and install sys-apps/ethtool. There are literally hundreds of BIOS around but look for the typical options: "Enable Wake-on-LAN", "Enable Wake on PCI" and "Enable Power of PCIE Devices". These days pretty much all integrated or otherwise NICs support Wake-on-LAN, however more often than not you'll need to enable it in the BIOS.
#Wakeonlan linux how to#
In this post I'll describe how to setup a Gentoo destination computer so that it can be turned on from another computer.įor sake of simplicity I've broken down the procedure into a few steps:Ħ) Wake up the computer from local network If the destination computer has a network interface card that support WOL then the system wakes up. This magic packet contains the MAC address of the destination computer. This will cause the computer to wake up or change state with a simple message, going from suspension to activation or even from off to on.Wake-on-LAN also know as WOL is the ability to switch on a computer that is connected to a network (local or not) by means of a special network message called a magic packet. If not, then we will have it activated and ready to go if so, then we have to activate it with the following command: sudo iw phy01 wowlan enable anyĪnd we will disable it by typing the same but changing the word enable to disable, like this sudo iw phy01 wowlan disable any This will show us a message like the following: Now we have to write the following to know the status of the network card: iw phy01 wowlan show This is the name that we have to memorize as we will use it later. The device will be given a name like eth01 or phy01. We can also use the following command if we use network cable: ifconfig This will list all the wireless devices that the operating system has. To do this we open the terminal and write the following: Generally, Wake-on-lan is disabled in our Gnu / Linux distribution but it can be activated through the terminal and without any complementary tool. An interesting function that even allows you to turn on the computer when it is off. This allows us to perform actions within a computer through another computer remotely. Wake-on-lan is a function that allows us to activate a device through an electronic signal. This function appeared years ago within network cards and motherboards and, although it is not universal, there are many devices that have this function. But it's something that It can be changed very easily by activating the Wake-on-lan function of the network card of our equipment. This means that some users cannot use their equipment remotely if the computer goes to sleep. Sleep and hibernate operation generally does not work properly with some configurations or layouts.
