GS108Tv3 how to wake up pfsense router
I have a GS108Tv3 connected in a lagg config to my J1900 pfsense firewall. The firewall is connected to a dumb UPS that shuts down on a timer. This means, the device could shutdown, but power get res...
hi,
- so the pc intel J1900 4 lan port (pfsense box) has a dumb ups which shuts down based on a timer.
- if power is restored before the battery runs out, the pc never knows that it lost power but is shutdown
- i want to have network activity from the switch (preferably) or the nas box (truenas) trigger the pfsense box to come back to life.
The idea is to get some WoL from the devices connected to the firewall (sleeping) when the power does return? The switch can't do this - check the NAS.
The pfsense box is a Quotom J1900 4x LAN headless device.
I use two ports in a LAGG config to the GS108v3.
The other two ports go to a cable modem and fibre modem (future)
Unrealed to the switch model - WoL can be difficult if not impossible on devices if configured to a LAG. There are technically two interfaces with two different MAC addresses, well possible the wrong MAC address will be in place with the LAGed interface...
Still, there is nohting nothing on the switch can do WoL - you need some computer or the like for WoL...
can i use the port from the cable modem to wake the pfsense
