Command Line Parameters
wakeonlan /i <ip-address> <mac address>
/i ip-address |
Optional: The IP address of a router or computer that is to receive the packet. Instead of sending the magic packet to the local broadcast address (255.255.255.255), you can also send it to a router which can then forward the packet to the local subnet.
The router must be configured to allow direct broadcasts for this to work. |
mac address |
The MAC address of the NIC that is to be woken up |
Examples
Example 1: Wake up the computer with MAC address 00-19-A9-06-F0-23
wakeonlan 00-19-A9-06-F0-23
Example 2: Wake up the computer with MAC address 00-19-A9-06-F0-23 but send the packet through router with IP address 192.168.3.1
