Configure IP Directed Broadcast

Hi kiheiman,
Welcome to our community!
I think you should enable routing global if you want the Switch to forwarding L3 packet between different subnet.
GUI web go to 'Routing-->IP-->IP Configuration' and set the 'Routing Mode' to 'Enable', then click the 'Apply' button.
Please try again and check is it ok?
BTW: What do you mean WOL packets? We need more detailed information about this packet.
Hope that it helps !

The WOL is the Wake on LAN packets. We have L3 routing enabled. The WOL packets are L2. I have seen a number of of Internet posts about WOL packets not being able to go between VLANs unless the "IP Directed Broadcast" option is enabled. I am looking for specific instructions on how that option can be enabled on a GSM7324 L3 switch, other than just changing the option from Disable to Enable. I am assuming that other options on the IP configure page need to be changed, along with enabling the Directed Broadcast option. Hope that helps.
