Switching On Device Via Wake-On-Lan - CheckMK Rail2 Mark I Manual

Check_MK rail2 Mark I - Manual
Caution
You should only shut down your rail2 appliance if you have physical access to the system, since
you can only restart the device by disconnecting and restoring the power.

9.2 Switching on device via Wake-on-LAN

The device is factory-configured to allow it to be switched on from the local LAN via WOL (Wake-on-
LAN). This enables you for example to start an inadvertently shut down appliance up again via pure
network access.
To "wake up" an appliance, you need the MAC address of the appliance's network interface card and
a system switched on in the same network segment. You must send a special network package to the
appliance from this system. You can generate such packages on Linux systems, using the command-line
command wol for example. You may have to install this program yourself, since it is not installed as
standard with most Linux distributions.
You can use the following command to wake up an appliance:
wol de:ad:be:ef:ca:fe
Of course, you need to replace the example MAC address de:ad:be:ef:ca:fe with the MAC address of
your device.
