yeah I am wondering if that isn't the easiest route to go though if there already is

one. I am waiting for an answer from Cisco. Cisco switches and routers can forward wol

packets sent over udp. But etherwake doesn't do that apparently.

So if I want to wake up machines from a central location, I either need to use something

else then ether-wake, orĀ  don't do it from a central location it looks like.


thanks,


Ron

Here is some documentation on forwarding WoL on catalyst 3750 switches from
Cisco:
