Wake on wan linux

On most systems, issuing this command is required after each boot. If the system's networking is configured via ifupdown, then it is easy to add the line up ethtool -s wol g below the interface's configuration stanza in /etc/network/interfaces. For example:

shahar@shahar-backup:~$ cat /etc/network/interfaces # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 10.0.0.138 up ethtool -s eth0 wol g

This will ensure that WoL is enabled in the NIC on each boot. Fore more information see the interfaces manual.

Testing Wake-On-LAN

Test WoL by powering off the system and trying to send it the magic packet using:

Command-line tools

GTK+ tool

Configure other operating systems

If the system dual-boots with other operating systems, they should be configured to also enable or, at least, not disable WoL in the NIC. This is beyond the scope of this document but here's a starting point for Microsoft's OS's.

Troubleshooting

• Check that the power management options for your BIOS and NIC support WoL and are enabled as described above.
• Verify that the packets sent to wake the target computer are indeed reaching their intended desination.
  • You may be able to verify the presence of packets by watching the network activity indicator LED on your switch or router. This is easier to see if you send multiple packets as you can count them.

  How to Enable Wake-on-LAN in Ubuntu 22.04? [SOLVED]

  Wake-on-LAN is a feature that allows you to turn on your computer from another device over the network. It does this by sending a data packet. The receiving computer's network driver processes this data packet and wakes the computer.

  In this article we will tell you how to enable Wake-on-LAN in Ubuntu and example usage.

  Does you Network Card support Wake on Lan?

  Your ethernet card must support this feature for Wake-on-Lan to work. To find out if your Ethernet card supports this feature, you must first learn the name of your Ethernet interface. In the following sections, it is recommended to register the mac address for packet sending.

  In Terminal, the ip address and other information are displayed with the following command:

  1: lo: mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 ::1/128 scope host valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 2: enp2s0: mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 30:5a:3a:0d:ac:0d brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.1.10/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global dynamic noprefixroute enp2s0 valid_lft 67502sec preferred_lft 67502sec inet6 fe80::40ab:d219:c23e:abfb/64 scope link noprefixroute valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

  Mac address: 30:5a:3a:0d:ac:0d and enp2s0 is the computer's network interface name. To view and change the Wake-On-Lan settings, the "ethtool" package must be installed:

  foc@ubuntu22:~$ sudo apt install ethtool -y

  Next, find out if the network card supports wake-on-LAN:

  foc@ubuntu22:~$ sudo ethtool enp2s0

  Settings for enp2s0: . Duplex: Full Auto-negotiation: on master-slave cfg: preferred slave master-slave status: slave Port: Twisted Pair PHYAD: 0 Transceiver: external MDI-X: Unknown Supports Wake-on: pumbg Wake-on: d Link detected: yes

  The expression “ Wake-on:d ” indicates that the wake-on-lan feature of the network card is supported but deactivated.

  Enable Wake on Lan Feature

  Run the following commands to enable wake-on-lan on your network card:

  foc@ubuntu22:~$ sudo ethtool -s enp2s0 wol g

  Settings for enp2s0: . Speed: 1000Mb/s Duplex: Full Auto-negotiation: on master-slave cfg: preferred slave master-slave status: slave Port: Twisted Pair PHYAD: 0 Transceiver: external MDI-X: Unknown Supports Wake-on: pumbg Wake-on: g Link detected: yes

  Some motherboard manufacturers require you to change the settings in the BIOS to enable this feature. If there is no change when you check after entering the command, it is recommended to look at the BIOS settings.

  Auto Wake-On-Lan Activation at Startup

  If the Wake-on-Lan settings are deactivated when the server is restarted; you should solve this problem with systemd.

  foc@ubuntu22:~$ sudo --preserve-env systemctl edit --force --full wol-enable.service

  [Unit] Description=Enable Wake-up on LAN [Service] Type=oneshot ExecStart=/sbin/ethtool -s enp2s0 wol g [Install] WantedBy=basic.target

  Replace the enp2s0 value with your own network interface value. Then reload and enable the service:

  foc@ubuntu22:~$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload foc@ubuntu22:~$ sudo systemctl enable wol-enable.service Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/basic.target.wants/wol-enable.service → /etc/systemd/system/wol-enable.service. 

  Remote Ubuntu Server Wake Up

  The above steps were the steps to do for Ubuntu to wake up. Now, let's talk about the steps to be done on the server that will do the wake-up task.

  One of the following package must be installed on the server in question:

  foc@ubuntu22:~$ sudo apt search wakeonlan wakeonlan/jammy 0.41-12.1 all Sends 'magic packets' to wake-on-LAN enabled ethernet adapters

  Install wakeonlan package:

  foc@ubuntu22:~$ sudo apt install wakeonlan -y

  Wake up remote server using this package:

  foc@ubuntu22:~$ sudo wakeonlan 30:5a:3a:0d:ac:0d Sending magic packet to 255.255.255.255:9 with 30:5a:3a:0d:ac:0d

  Remote server mac address should be written after wakeonlan command.

  Summary

  In this article we have explained the steps for remote wake up Ubuntu server remote. The manual page about what you can do with wakeonlan will help:

  foc@ubuntu22:~$ man wakeonlan

  NAME wakeonlan - Perl script to wake up computers SYNOPSIS wakeonlan [-h] [-v] [-i IP_address] [-p port] [-f file] [[hardware_address] . ] .
