How to Deploy a Wake on LAN Proxy for Distributed Environments in IGEL

Problem

The UMS is residing outside the network which contains your devices, so it cannot wake up your devices by Wake on LAN.

Goal

You want the UMS to wake up your devices from outside their network.

Solution

If you are using UMS version 5.02.100 or higher and devices running Linux version 5.09.100 or higher, you can make a device act as a proxy which sends the Wake on LAN packets on behalf of the UMS.
