Wake-on-LAN Server Configuration

You can set up advanced Wake-on-LAN server configuration for the legacy agents. These configuration policies are locally managed and need to be set on the servers by modifying comstore locally.

Example: Specifying Remote Subnet Masks and Sending Wake-on-LAN Broadcasts

[itrm/usd/SUBNETMASKS]
;   This section is related to the following one.

[itrm/usd/CUSTOMBROADCAST]
;   This section defines the TCP/IP subnet masks to use when sending
;   out the Wake-on-LAN broadcasts. By default, broadcasts are sent
;   on the network on which a machine resides. For the local network, the subnet
;   is automatically retrieved from the machine’s configuration. 
;   However, if a remote network is using subnets, you will need to specify 
;   its subnet mask here.
;
;   Example: 
;   100.0.0.0   = 255.255.255.0

This is done, for example, by running the following command on the server:

ccnfcmda -cmd SetParameterValue -ps itrm/usd/SUBNETMASKS -pn 100.0.0.0 -v 255.255.255.0

To remove this setting, run:

ccnfcmda -cmd DeleteParameter -ps itrm/usd/SUBNETMASKS -pn 100.0.0.0

[itrm/usd/CUSTOMBROADCAST]
;   This section is related to the one above, [itrm/usd/SUBNETMASKS], and
;   contains three parameters, DisableBroadcast, NoBroadcast, and
;   CustomBroadcast.

DisableBroadcast=
;   If DisableBroadcast=1, Wake-on-LAN broadcasts are disabled.
;   If DisableBroadcast=0, Wake-on-LAN broadcasts are enabled.

For example:

ccnfcmda -cmd SetParameterValue -ps itrm/usd/CUSTOMBROADCAST  -pn DisableBroadcast -v 1

NoBroadcast=
;   If NoBroadcast=1, a direct broadcast will be sent to a specific IP-address
;   (preceding the Trigger message). Then broadcast is not allowed.
;   If NoBroadcast=0, a direct Wake-on-LAN broadcast to a specific
;   IP-address is disabled.

CustomBroadcast=
;   If CustomBroadcast =0, Wake-on-LAN broadcasts to non-standard
;   subnets is disabled. Then standard broadcast using the
;   [SUBNETMASKS] entry is made.
;   If CustomBroadcast =1, a Wake-on-LAN broadcast will be sent to
;   non-standard (custom) subnets.
;   Example:
;   If you have a subnet with subnet mask 255.255.255.224 (32 addresses
;   on this subnet), then 31,63,95... are values corresponding to broadcast
;   addresses xxx.xxx.xxx.31, xxx.xxx.xxx.63, xxx.xxx.xxx.95, ... 
;   Append this list at the end.
;

“ccnfcmda -cmd SetParameterValue -ps itrm/usd/CUSTOMBROADCAST  -pn  NoBroadcast -v 0”
“ccnfcmda -cmd SetParameterValue -ps itrm/usd/CUSTOMBROADCAST  -pn  CustomBroadcast -v 1”

“ccnfcmda -cmd SetParameterValue -ps itrm/usd/CUSTOMBROADCAST  -pn  xxx.xxx.xxx.0 -v 31,63,95,127,159,191,223,255”
;
;   When Software Delivery sends a job to the IP address xxx.xxx.xxx.69, a
;   Wake-on-LAN broadcast xxx.xxx.xxx.95 should be sent.
