Command Line Parameters

wakeonlan MAC-Address ([/i] ip-address)

MAC Address

The MAC address of the NIC that is to be woken up

/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.

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

wakeonlan 00-19-A9-06-F0-23 /i 192.168.3.1
