![]() Looking forward to your response and cooperation in creating this feature. As long as the host icon is highlighted in the window, WOL will ping it to let you know if it is online or offline. Should there be some autodiscovery of Mac addresses available for WOL implementation? I don’t know if it is possible, but should there be some kind of “human readable translation” from macaddress to IP/device? To wake-up a host, right click the host and click the Wake Up option. Maybe even a bit of background info on the feature, how Linux/CentOS/NethServer can support WOL and what networkcards support WOL. Maybe you can explain a bit what you would like to see in WOL support in NethServer. The 2nd step is creating a new topic with a howto install the feature on NethServer. In the feature request we will discuss what would be necessary to accomplish the request and if there are multiple options. There is quite a simple procedure for new features and you started off with the first step by creating a feature request. That might sound too simple as an answer but in essence it is what NethServer is all about and gets its power from: ideas from community members that need a feature and start working on it so the feature becomes available. NethServer is a community driven project so the correct answer to your question is: because nobody yet developed the module. Hi and welcome to the NethServer community! I am glad you’ve found our forums and started asking questions. It would be very convenient, and probably easy to implement a WOL management page, maybe under “Administration”.įor example, the MAC address management could be made through the page of the DNS host via an optional field.Īlso, I think that this feature could be useful in the management of network backup, for example managing a script that wakes up the target, backing up and at the end of the task switch-off the target.ĭo you think it is possible to implement a similar function? This function is already implemented in Nethserver, simply give the command via SSH: # ether-wake -i 00:22:68:5E:34:06 (MAC Address of device you want to activate) I often find myself out of the office for work and with the need to access my lab remotely.īecause I hate wasting current, I normally leave on only my mini-server with Nethserver installed and, via WOL l activate what I need at the moment (QNAP nas, another self-made NAS with FreeNAS, whitebox ESXi etc.).
