The Remote Wake Up feature supports Magic Packet* technology. When a powered off node that is enabled for Wake on LAN receives the magic packet, the system boots up.
This section provides information on the following topics:
Before waking up the managed workstations, the following requirements must be fulfilled:
Make sure that the managed workstation has a network card that supports Wake on LAN. Additionally, make sure that you have enabled the Wake on LAN option in the BIOS setup of the managed workstation.
Make sure that the managed workstation is registered to Novell eDirectory™.
Make sure that the remote node is in a soft-off power state. In the soft-off state, the CPU is powered off and a minimal amount of power is utilized by its network interface card. Unlike the hard-off state, in the soft-off state the power connection to the machine remains switched on when the machine is shut down.
Make sure that the routers connecting the management console and the remote node are configured to forward subnet-oriented broadcasts
