Wake On LAN Settings in IGEL OS 12

With Wake-on-Lan (WoL), you can switch on devices over the network.

For further information on the WoL functionality of the Universal Management Suite (UMS), see Wake on LAN Configuration in the IGEL UMS.

Alternative Wake-on-Lan Options

On this Setup page, you can enable or disable Wake-on-Lan via a magic packet. Alternatively, you can set your IGEL OS device to use other options for Wake-on-Lan, but this should be tested thoroughly to avoid issues. The following options can be configured via the Registry (System > Registry):

Wake on ARP packet: network.interfaces.ethernet.device%.wol.wake_arp
Wake on broadcast message: network.interfaces.ethernet.device%.wol.wake_bcast
Wake on multicast message: network.interfaces.ethernet.device%.wol.wake_mcast
Wake on physical activity: network.interfaces.ethernet.device%.wol.wake_phy
Wake on unicast message: network.interfaces.ethernet.device%.wol.wake_ucast

WoL via Docking Stations and USB-C-to-LAN adapters

When using the supported devices with USB-C docking, or USB-C-to-LAN adapters, WoL is only supported from suspend mode and not power off mode. For more details, see Devices Supported by IGEL OS 12 .

IGEL OS 12.3.2 or higher: WoL Setting in BIOS is Detected on Supported Lenovo Devices

On Lenovo devices that are supported by IGEL OS 12, the system can detect whether WoL is enabled in the BIOS or not. If the system detects that WoL is disabled in the BIOS, all WoL described on this configuration page is disabled.

You can enable or disable the WoL detection with System > Registry > network > interfaces > respect_bios_wol_setting (registry key network.interfaces.respect_bios_wol_setting).

Menu path: Network > LAN Interfaces > [Interface] > Wake On LAN
