Here are those results. First, minor details of the setup:
box1 = 192.168.1.51, Supermicro X7SBA, connected to switch via em0
box2 = 192.168.1.52, Supermicro X7SBL-LN2, connected to switch via em0
Netmask is 255.255.255.0; absolutely nothing fancy about the setup.
My ifconfig "tests", which show some strange behaviour:
box2# ifconfig em0 | head -2
em0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
options=399b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,WOL_UCAST,WOL_MCAST,WOL_MAGIC>
box2# ifconfig em0 -wol_ucast
box2# ifconfig em0 | head -2
em0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
options=399b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,WOL_UCAST,WOL_MCAST,WOL_MAGIC>
box2# ifconfig em0 -wol_mcast
box2# ifconfig em0 | head -2
em0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
options=299b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,WOL_UCAST,WOL_MAGIC>
box2# ifconfig em0 wol
box2# ifconfig em0 | head -2
em0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
options=399b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,WOL_UCAST,WOL_MCAST,WOL_MAGIC>
box2# ifconfig em0 -wol_magic
em0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
options=199b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,WOL_UCAST,WOL_MCAST>
box2# ifconfig em0 -wol
box2# ifconfig em0 | head -2
em0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
options=99b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,WOL_UCAST>
box2# ifconfig em0 -wol_ucast
box2# ifconfig em0 | head -2
em0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
options=99b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,WOL_UCAST>
box2# ifconfig em0 wol_mcast -wol_ucast
box2# ifconfig em0 | head -2
em0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
options=199b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,WOL_UCAST,WOL_MCAST>
box2# ifconfig em0 wol
box2# ifconfig em0 -wol_mcast
box2# ifconfig em0 | head -2
em0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
options=299b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,WOL_UCAST,WOL_MAGIC>
At this point on box2, I executed the following:
box2# shutdown -p now
Then I did the following tests from box1. To rule out any chance of ARP
expiring, I added a static ARP entry for box2's MAC --> 192.168.1.52.
1. ping 192.168.1.255 -- box2 did not power on
2. ping 192.168.1.52 -- box2 did not power on
3. ping 255.255.255.255 -- box2 did not power on
4. sent magic packet to 255.255.255.255 UDP port 40000 -- box2 did not power on
5. sent magic packet to 192.168.1.255 UDP port 40000 -- box2 powered on
6. sent magic packet to 192.168.1.52 UDP port 40000 -- box2 powered on
Between test #5 and #6, I executed "ifconfig em0 -wol_mcast" on box2 prior
to doing the shutdown.
Based on all this, we can more or less reliably tell that:
1) ifconfig's behaviour is unintuitive in this case; this could be a
driver (7.0.5) bug, or it could be some odd capabilities bug. I
don't know. If this is intentional behaviour, it's unintuitive,
and there's no mention of it (or WOL!) in the em(4) man page.
Likewise, ifconfig(8)'s descriptions of what the WOL_xxx flags do
is also a bit unintuitive.
2) When WOL_MCAST capability disabled on the interface, the system
behaviour is identical to that of the older (pre-7.0.5) driver.
3) WOL_MCAST may be buggy in some way, or not implemented correctly
inside of the em (7.0.5) driver.
