S3300 WOL

I need help to get WOL packets routed. I have 3 switches connected by LWL:

Server-S3300 #1-S3300 #2-S3300 #3-Workstations

 

I can not send magic packets from my server to all workstations, on every switch.

I already tried:

1. switching off green ethernet on all switches

2. security - traffic control - storm control - enable unicast/multicast/unknown with 5% (even if WOL is usually multicast)

3. switching - multicast - IGMP snooping enable

 

Nothing works :-o

    Eberhard_Mu,

     

    Welcome to the community! :) 

     

    I need help to get WOL packets routed. I have 3 switches connected by LWL:

    Server-S3300 #1-S3300 #2-S3300 #3-Workstations

    What is LWL?  Are you referring to LAG (or LACP)?  

     

    Are the WOL Settings properly configured on the workstations? 

     

    What is the current firmware of your S3300 switches? 

     

    As a test, using just one S3300 switch, connect 1 workstation to it then check if WOL will work. 

     

     

    Regards,
