Sending WOL packets from a Routerboard

RouterOS General
1

Is this supported? I have a subnet of high power (think watts) devices which I don’t want powered on at all times for $ and longevity reasons. I do, however, need to boot the devices on the subnet remotely for administration. Is there a way to send a WOL packet directly from the router?

Right now I have to keep at least 1 device running on the subnet to make it happen.

Thanks in advance!

ssh -l admin rt7.XXXXXXXX.com “/tool wol interface=ether2 00:1F:D0:81:08:6E”
