MikroTik

Hi to all..
I saw there is a way to send a magic packet to some mac address with shell...
I am wondering is there a way that I could send some packet to some port and trigger WOL?

thx to everyone...

From RouterOS you can:

Mrz meant to say "you can't" . you can only send to a MAC in the same network

dorijan, you mean, 'port knocking' for powering on a machine with known MAC address?..

I know you can send magic packet only broadcast space, not over routed network. So I want to be able to somehow initialize magic packet (maybe firewall rule) over routed network so I dont have to logon to mikrotik and initialize /tool wol mac=xxxxxxx
Maybe port triggering would do it...

how can you connect to a port, if the machine is powered down ?

I meant to connect to some port on mikrotik, and then mikrotik sends magic pocket

well, you may add some rule to firewall to match necessary packet, and then in Scheduler check whether rule's packet count is > 0. then send WOL and reset the counter

Chupaka, that is the answer...Ill do it that way
thank you

It's way easier:

example LAN segment is: 192.168.1.0/24

create static arp entry to resolve IP -> broadcast create a NAT rule to forward packet on specific to this IP (effectively sending it to broadcast MAC) tell your WoL client to send a packet to <your IP> port 7000. packet comes in, get's forwarded to broadcast MAC out LAN interface to port 7.

Works great.

Thanks dssmiktik!

That was exactly what I was looking for!
Your solution is simply and powerful!

I have spend more than 6 hours figuring out how to solve this problem!.
I have hosts that are in network 192.168.1.0/24 connected to a Mikrotik in network 192.168.100.0/24 through a router, and I need to turn on a server that is connected to a Mikrotik at network 192.168.100.0/24 from the 192.168.1.0/24 clients.

Thanks!

all we need now is to be able to WOL to wake up the Mikrotik devices that I accidently did system shutdown.

I know, power cycle it..... but its 44km drive to get to it.
perhaps wait for a power failure  (off/on) on the next thunderstorm tomorrow afternoon, that might fix my problem.  Unless anyone else has an easier solution?

I don't think MikroTik devices support wakeup by WOL.
This discussion is about using MikroTik devices to send WOL packets to other devices (e.g. PC) to wake them.

Most RouterBOARD devices will turn back on after a minute or so.

I've just shutdown a 951ui to test this, and it hasn't restarted after 10 mins

Which models do this ?

Never seen that in my life with MT.  Not on one single device.
