This example shows the configuration of a ZyWALL USG firewall with Wake On LAN. A computer can be started from ACPI standby mode via the network using a WOL package.
Scenario:
A user would like to wake up a PC from standby via the Internet through a USG using Wake on LAN.
The PC must be in standby. PCs that are switched off cannot answer WOL requests because they do not have an IP address!
The USG needs a NAT rule and a static ARP entry. The IP address and the MAC address of the PC must be made known to the USG.
It makes sense to give the target PC a static IP address if it should stay in standby mode for a longer period (leasing time)!
Open a terminal in the program of your choice (Telnet, PuTTy, ...)
Enter the following commands to set the ARP entry
configure terminal
arp (IP Target PC) (MAC Target PC)
exit
write
exit
if you want to delete the ARP entry, type:
configure terminal
no arp (to be deleted IP)
exit
write
exit
Log in to the Web GUI and navigate to
Configuration> Object> Service> Add
Set the following parameters:
Configuration> Object> Address> Add
Set the following parameters:
(use your own IP)
Configuration> Network> NAT> Add
Set the following parameters:
(use your own IP)
Configuration> Security Policy> Policy Control> Add
Set the following parameters:
Finished. Now you should be able to wake up the PC from standby mode via the Internet via the USG with WOL packages.
