[SOLVED] WOL not working

[proxfox]

Hi ,

I have a problem with WOL (the whole server, not a single node) I‘ve already searched the internet about WOL in combination wit proxmox and tried out a few tutorials, but none of them worked for me.The /etc/init.d/halt file does not exist on my host and some configurations with ethtool also won‘t help in my case. I hope you guys have a solution for me. Im freaking out.

hi,

did you check your BIOS?

is the 'g' flag set for the correct interface? (ethtool flag)

yes the bios is set up correctly.

the method with ethtool doesn‘t work the flag is still d.

do you get any error when you try to set it?

what is the output of ethtool <interface_name>

What interface do i need to edit and how ?do you have a command for me? I have 2 interfaces: enp3s0 and vmbr0

 

[oguz]

run ethtool enp3s0 (the onboard ethernet interface) and post the output of the command here (you can use [code][/code] tags)

can you try ethtool -s enp3s0 wol g and rerun the previous command afterwards?

wake on is now set on g.

 

[oguz]

okay good, see here[0] about making the change persistent. crontab is probably the easiest way

1. poweroff

Hello

i get the same issue with my server : everything is enable and nothing happen when launching magic packett whereas on a laptop with same NIC, everything is ok under windows but not under debian once again : i don't know how to make WoL available on debian so, even by following https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wake-on-LAN#Make_it_persistent doesn't help me.

Any idea ?

 

[ayo91]

I have the same issue. Everything seems enabled but imposible to wake up the device... I also tried: update-initramfs command after all.

I've tried different ways to shutdown. And finally I realised long-hold the power button would only poweroff the system uncleanly. And the wake-on-lan didn't work after long-hold power button.

When short-press power button, exec poweroff or exec shutdown now, sending the magic package is able to wake it up. The Wake-on: pg flags can be problematic. Because it will just restart every time after poweroff with an incoming ping.
