Hello normis, are you able to link us to any further information on the WOL implementation?
I'm running ROS v3.23 x86 and the command doesn't appear under the /tools list

Also, is this going to be included in the system package or under advanced tools? (I have both on this device at the moment, but wanted to know as this wasn't mentioned in the newsletter)

mushmx · Wed Apr 22, 2009 4:59 pm

Yeah, I have the V3.23 and the same don't appear the tool WOL

. But anyway it a great news

Thu Apr 23, 2009 8:47 am

I think it's going to be in the next version. the tool is a very standard WOL tool, specify the MAC and it just sends the MagicPacket (UDP) to broadcast address. It doesn't support SecureOn (password based).

jp · Fri Apr 24, 2009 3:02 am

Thanks for the WOL; I look forward to it!

Why are there two power jacks on rb450G?

Chupaka · Sat Apr 25, 2009 12:49 pm

redundant power supply? =)

Tue Apr 28, 2009 12:55 pm

I would say parallel - if same voltage both will be used at 1/2 all the time, but if 1 dies other will take full load (so there is some kind of redundancy)

this is true¿??

Not true. If you plug two power supplies into this, they will fight each other until at least one dies. You never want to connect the outputs of two DC power sources in parallel. Systems with redundant power supplies have additional circuitry that keeps them isolated from each other.

I think the reason for the 2nd power jack is so you can build it into a rack mounted case and have the power supply inside the case and use an external standard computer power cord. (Like the RB1000U.)

Dear Mikrotik support,

can you explain us wich is the reason of the 2nd power connector?

Thanks!

Tue May 05, 2009 9:19 am

yes, it's to use with a different case where you don't want the plug to be hanging out of the front. like a rackmount for example.

Ibersystems · Tue May 05, 2009 11:05 am

Where is this rackmount case?

In Made for mikoritk section?

Thanks,

Tue May 05, 2009 11:39 am

I don't know

there is no specific case, i'm just talking about "if you want to"

Ibersystems · Tue May 05, 2009 12:09 pm

Oks,

thanks!

hi. Does wol command work for anybody? I have two installations of rb100 and rb133 with routeros 3.24, but i'm unable to wake up computers using this wol coomand. I have separate linux machine on the network instaled and wol from this is working fine...

jp · Wed Jun 10, 2009 4:57 pm

Doesn't work for me yet.

Here is a 3.24 433.

This is supposed to start something on ether2. I'm suprised WOL doesn't need to specify an interface to send the magic packet to. It doesn't increment any firewall counters, so I doubt it's that.

This is what I use on my PC to accomplish the WOL.

jp@xj13:~> more /usr/local/mis/bin/e-type 
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/wakeonlan 00:19:DB:62:7B:FB
echo E-type has been started.
jp@xj13:~>

rlima · Mon Jul 27, 2009 4:22 am

As far as I know WOL still not working.
Somebody know when it will be able.

Many thx, Ricardo

tgrand · Wed Jul 29, 2009 3:18 pm

It is possible that perhaps an arp entry must exist for the MAC.

Wed Jul 29, 2009 3:20 pm

maybe somebody can use a sniffer and capture the stream from the WOL packets that don't wake that PC? and maybe also the stream from a working non-MT solution to the same PC?

rlima · Thu Jul 30, 2009 8:25 am

The MAC of the machine I am traying to wake up is in the ARP list.
When i make a Packet Sniff there is no packet

I wiil send to suport an email with the cap

Bye Ricardo

jp · Mon Aug 03, 2009 8:29 pm

[admin@111Lucia] /file> /tool wol 00:19:DB:62:7B:FB

is what I do. Nothing gets captured when I sniff according to the following setup:

[admin@111Lucia] /file> /tool sniffer export 
# aug/03/2009 13:20:30 by RouterOS 3.25
# software id = Z6DV-8JR8
#
/tool sniffer
set file-limit=1000 file-name=wolcap filter-address1=0.0.0.0/0:0-65535 \
    filter-address2=0.0.0.0/0:0-65535 filter-protocol=all-frames \
    filter-stream=no interface=ether2 memory-limit=100 only-headers=no \
    streaming-enabled=no streaming-server=0.0.0.0
[admin@111Lucia] /file>

This command is on opensuse linux using wakeonlan v0.41 according to -v usage or 1.4.2.3 according to the top of the perl program file.

jp@xj13:~> cat /usr/local/mis/bin/e-type 
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/wakeonlan 00:19:DB:62:7B:FB
echo E-type has been started.
jp@xj13:~>

The capture file is attached from the following command:

tcpdump -n -i eth0 src or dst not 10.0.2.4 -w capture.txt

I was ssh'd in from 10.0.2.4 so that why that's excluded.

Also attached is a screenshot of the wakeup packet from that capture displayed in wireshark.

wolcap.png

I wonder if routerOS is sending the command to the wrong interface? My lan is on ether2.

i have ther same problem pc connected to the rb works fine

but pc connected to swicth were rb is connected to works 60%

if more ther 3 eth are connected
