Hello,

I have two servers with proxmox (cluster)

1) Lenovo M90Q Gen 3

2) Lenovo M90Q Gen 1

I added a 2.5G M2 KEY RTL8125B 2.5G card to them

I try to enable Wake On Lan (it is activated by default in the bios for the internal ethernet and pcie card from what I could see, in the following image:

But I can't get it to work, when I turn off either of the two servers, it will never reactivate by sending a magic packet, and the network card does not have any LEDs on when it is off.

Any solution to this? I don't know what else I should configure or test.

Thanks in advance.
 
This has to be related to the power saving options of those machines: the motherboard has to keep the m.2 slot with power so the nic has link and is able to receive the WOL magic packet. No idea which might be the setting in those machines, sorry.
