What needs to change?

Currently, our lab computers cannot be turned on without someone pressing their physical power button. It could be helpful to enable something like Wake-on-LAN so we can turn on our computers without needing to go to the physical lab room.

How would this task be tested?

  1. Ensure that the computers can be remotely turned on via some method (if Wake-on-LAN, that this can be done by sending a packet across the UF network)

I experimented trying to get this to work on zobelisk a little bit tonight, but was unable to make it fully working. I did the following:

  • Setting ACPI/Boot on LAN settings in BIOS to work with Wake on LAN
  • Ensuring Wake on LAN is enabled in eno1 in both nmcli and ethtool
  • Listening for UDP packets on port 9 (the wake on lan broadcast port)

I tried the following commands (sent from my computer, and another in the lab, and nothing...):

  • wakeonlan 70:85:c2:cc:2d:cb
  • wakeonlan -i 10.245.80.197 70:85:c2:cc:2d:cb
  • wakeonlan -i 192.168.1.255 70:85:c2:cc:2d:cb

I do see that the Ethernet lights are persistently on on zobelisk's main interface (even when the motherboard itself is powered off)
