  • Page 5: Overview: Wake On Lan

    1. Overview: Wake on LAN Wake on LAN (WOL) is an Ethernet computer networking standard that allows a shut-down computer to be booted remotely. WOL is both hardware and software technology to wakeup machines that have been powered off. This becomes a very valuable tool for administrators that need to perform software distribution to PC’s.

    4. Wake on LAN: 802.1x Authentication Wake on LAN and 802.1x authentication are mutually compatible only if the sleeping workstation is able to receive the magic packet. When an Ethernet switch port is configured with 802.1x enabled, traffic to and from the PC is dropped until the PC is authenticated.
