Wake on LAN support

ESXi 4 is installed on a system with a dual port Intel NIC and configured to use vmnic0 to vSwitch0, supporting LAN traffic for virtual machines and management for VMkernel traffic.  vmnic1 is associated with vSwitch1 and is exclusively used for iSCSI traffic.  vSphere Client shows that Wake on Lan is supported for vmnic0 but not vmnic1.  I understand that some Intel adapters do support WoL on port A, so this is not really surprising.

Given that all guest virtual machines use vmnic0, which has the support of WoL, I assumed that guests can receive support WoL.  What I have found however is that while the option 'Allow this device to wake the computer from sleep mode' can be selected tab in the power management of the properties of the network adapter (Intel Pro/1000 MT) comments on WIndows 2003 server, it cannot be defined for Vista or Windows Server 2008 SMV.  The option is grayed out in the latter two VMS and option notes indicate that the port does not support Wake on Lan.

Is there something in the settings of the virtual machine that I'm missing?

Thank you

Scott

Hi Scott, welcome to the forums of the VMware community.  What kind of NIC you selected for virtual machines?

Not all operating systems invited support Wake on LAN. Only the following types of NIC supported Wake

on LAN:

soft n (VMware tools required).

vmxnet n

n Enhanced vmxnet

vmxnet n 3

Options are disabled if they are not supported.

  • The Ethernet port integrated on a support of Office P7-1423w Wake on Lan?

    I have a P7-1423w computer to office with an integrated Realtek PCIe Gigabit Etherent port on the motherboard.

    I compatible Wake on Lan in the BIOS, activated Windows Power Management so the Ethernet port can wake the PC, updated the Realtek drivers and set all the parameters of the driver that I can see to activate wake lan, but it doesn't seem to work.

    I noticed that there is no seeing liaison on the port when the PC is turned off, who told me that he will not wake up no matter what.  Is there a way to activate the Ethernet port to stay when the PC is off on this model?

  • Wake On LAN for 8133 Pharlap running

    Study the various options related to guard dogs and control of the external power supply and came across a white paper which talks about Wake On LAN (activate the controller via the Ethernet port).  I see the instructions for Windows, but I use a race 8133 Pharlap.  This feature is available with this platform/OS combination?  If so, are there instructions for WOL with Pharlap?  Thank you.

    GSinMN

    Unfortunately, the Wake On LAN feature is not supported by Phar Lap ETS. So that the WOL work, the ethernet for the operating system driver must be configured such that it can receive the wake-up signal. While it is possible in Windows, Linux and Mac, Phar Lap does not support this configuration. I apologize if our documentation was not clear and for confusion resulting in lack of clarity.

  • Pavilion p6232it - Wake On Lan feature does not

    Hello

    I work as a system administrator and having 5 of these p6232it on LAN workstations. Product no: VS351AA-ABZ build No.: 94CEv6PrA3, and the BIOS revision is 5.07 (2009-07-06). I can't use the Wake-On-Lan feature, although all other machines (especially s-HP and IBM-s 43) on LAN are able to wake up when the signal is sent to them.

    I tried different settings in the BIOS - did not help.

    I looked at the specs of the motherboard via: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01746799

    It says that the ethernet controller is Realtek 8111 DL, so I found it's specifications at: http://www.realtek.com.tw/products/productsView.aspx?Langid=1&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&ProdID=193

    It is clear that it supports Wake-on-LAN and wake up remote assistance. Intel G43 Express Chipset also supports this feature, but there is no setting for it in the BIOS. I tried to find the update of the BIOS for that motherboard but had no success.

    My questions are: is the function WOL implemented on this specific motherboard? How to activate it?

    I would appreciate any advice.

    You will need to install a PCI or PCIe x 1 card network to enable WOL. That function is not installed in the Pavilion p6232it desktop computer BIOS.

    I came across a similar problem during a network turnkey installation here in the Netherlands. I installed as an Intel Pro/1000 GT PCI network cards.

  • Turn off Wake on LAN

    Hello

    I have a HP Pavilion 'g6' series laptop PC with Windows 7 Pro 64 bit with a Wi - Fi connection at home.  I read there is a 'Wake on LAN' function and you want to make sure that it is (disabled).  What I read, it should be disabled in the BIOS (and) of the operating system.  However, when I enter the F2 BIOS, (HP Advanced System Diagnostics, version 4.1.0.0) there is a menu option displayed, but no option to change this feature of "Wake on LAN". In fact, it isn't even mentioned.

    The best that I was able to accomplish so far is by going to control panel, system, Manager of devices, and then click "Ralink RT5390 802.11 b/g/n WiFi Adapter Properties," and then by selecting the "Power management" tab, and clearing the check box of the "allow this device to wake the computer."

    I also went to the "Realtek PCIe Controller Properties family" and not the "allow this device to wake the computer."

    Finally, I also went to Panel/All Control Panel Items/system configuration and in the tab "Remote" system, unchecked option "Remote support" properties and sub remote desktop on the same tab, selected the option button "don't allow connections to this computer".

    The questions are: 1) did I do everything possible to (keep) all unauthorized, remote access and 2) should I be concerned about this feature of "wake-on-LAN" if she does not seem to be present in my BIOS?

    Thanks, Terry

    Hello again Terry57.

    Sorry for the delay in my response.  I was out of the office.

    Which is indeed sound as the feature you're looking for.  Before today, I had never heard called talk anything else.

    Be sure to disable the feature within the operating system as well in accordance with the following instructions.

    Have a wonderful day!

  • Alienware 15 R3 Wake-on-LAN

  • Can I use Wake-On-LAN with P1606dn printer?

    I have a printer laser P1606dn that is installed remotely and remote voltage.

    When it is first turned on, the button on the front should be pressed to coax the printer in life.  It will turn green and we are ready to go.  After that, even if it fell into energy saving mode, sending a commnad impression he wakes up and network printing works very well.

    However, I would like to finish with the market support the button when it is first turned on.  I tried to use a command to Wake-On-LAN for the addess IP and MAC to the printer, but nothing happens.

    I realize I could leave it powered permananetly but don't want to do that because there are other devices on the same power supply that must be turned off at night.

    How can I me he waking distance?

    Thank you very much.

    Oh well, thanks for looking anyway.

    Apparently a design flaw strange that a printer must be turned on manually until it works, but I guess I'll have to put up with it.  The 15th year, Laserjet 4 M - PS it replaced has not caused as much fuss.  Progress!

  • How to activate 802. 1 x with ' Wake on LAN ' EMS 2010 cisco?

    Hello

    We have acquired an EMS cisco 2010 to replace our distribution switch. I've implemented the 802.1 X network. Everything works great except that I can't find how to activate 802. 1 x with "Wake on LAN" on this kind of switch. You have an idea?

    The catalyst, I saw that it was sufficient to activate this control "control-direction authentication {times |}". in}.

    Except that it seems not to exist on this switch. Is there another way to activate 802. 1 x WoL without the help of this command?

    Or how to allow the magic packet (WoL) on a port marked by unauthorized 802.1 x?

    Thanks in advance

  • With Wake-On-LAN to reactivate the Group residential access to a computer to sleep...

    I have two laptops with Windows 7 (Pro 64).  I had both the join HomeGroup and could access shared folders.  I noticed that when a computer "sleep" disappears from the homegroup.  There is a note on the page of the homegroup password: "computers that are turned off or sleep does not appear in the homegroup.»  Elsewhere in TechNet I see information on WOL (Wake-on-LAN) of Windows capabilities on hardware that supports, and I selected "Allow this device to wake the computer" in Device Manager > network adapters > LAN_Adapter > power management tab.  But without success in waking a computer sleep to access remotely via homegroup.

    Does anyone know if remote activation is feasible and how to activate it?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Wire or wireless?

    If it wireless it will be the current wireless hardware does not work do not support this action.

    Thread might or might not work depending on the hardware.

    While many office computers would wake on network traffic, a lot of laptops would be not because they all plan material manufacturer to save energy.

    There is nothing more that we can do about it in addition to checking the suite (not the magic packet) tab in the power management of the network card.

    It is one of the issues that are still outstanding (hardware wise) in the entry level network business.

  • Wake-on-Lan Pavilion p6130y?

    I have several HP desktop computers, that support wake-on-lan. I just bought a p6130y and immediately installed Windows 7. I can't WOL to work on it. (I have others updated for Win 7 and WOL works for them).

    (1) it is not mentioned in the BIOS, but
    (2) the Device Manager indicates it is enabled on the LAN.

    My question is: is taken WOL supported on the p6130y?

    Fixed!   I reinstalled Win 7 tonight (this time 64-bit), and this time this WOL worked right out of the box!   Guess we will have to put down for one of life's little mysteries.

  • HP ProLiant Microserver Wake On LAN wireless WOWLAN

    Hi, I was wondering if someone had managed to get the wake on LAN wireless (wowlan) working on a Microserver?  I think that it would be not possible because you will need to have a wireless NETWORK interface integrated to do this and the server is not, but I thought I'd ask.  I'm using Linux, but I'd be curious to see if someone had got it works on any OS at least that would show that the hardware can support it?

  • Wake on LAN - AirPort Extreme

    I'm trying to configure the Wake on LAN for my AirPort Extreme and Windows 7 PC, reboot with my iPad.  It works fine when the iPad is on the local network, but no power on the PC when I'm not on my network domestic.  I put airport to the port before 9 to the PC as directed, and made sure the PC has been configured to accept magic packets.  Any help?

    Apple wake on lan system is different... and there is a good chance the router from Apple not go to work.

    The best and easiest around the issue is to install a different router... and use airport extreme for the wireless. Make sure the PC is connected to the main router although no airport.
