In the simplest case the default broadcast address 255.255.255. If it's firewalled you need to configure the client firewall to allow the outgoing UDP traffic to the port 9. If you are connected directly to another computer through a network cable, or the traffic within a LAN is not firewalled, then using Wake-on-LAN should be straightforward since there is no need to worry about port redirects. Keep in mind that most routers by default will not relay subnet directed broadcasts as a safety precaution and need to be explicitly told to do so. In this scenario, the external IP address of the router must be known. To get Wireshark to see WOL Protocol change to port 9. If used to wake up a computer over the internet or in a different subnet, it typically relies on the router to relay the packet and broadcast it. The knowledge of an IP address for the target computer is not necessary, as it operates on layer 2 (Data Link).
#WIRESHARK COMMANDLINE WOL MAC#
In its simplest form, Wake-on-LAN broadcasts the magic packet as an ethernet frame, containing the MAC address within the current network subnet, below the IP protocol layer. nc Here is the expected output This is nc from the netcat-openbsd package.

Open one terminal Shortcut Alt+Ctrl+t and use below command to check if nc is present or not. Netcat Command: Netcat (nc) command is installed by default in Linux OS.

Here the MAC address is 48:05:ca:09:0e:6a. Find out any other command other than netcat for Linux. 1: lo: mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default
