We need to send the multicast Wake-On-Lan udp packet across VLAN.  How can I configure the 5400zl switch to do this?

It's the feature from Kaspersky Labs Anti-Virus Admin Kit.  In the previous version of the Admin Kit, the WOL packet was sent via broadcast.  I setup my switch to forward this brocase packet from one vlan to the other.  With the current version of the Admin Kit, the WOL magic packet is sent via multicast.  I don't have any other multicast application runs on our network.  Can you send  me to a right direction to setup multicast and can be routed across Vlans.  Thank you.

ip multicast-routing

and then on each vlan

   vlan x
      ip pim-sparse
        ip-addr any
      exit
   exit

Bruce, thank you for your input.  For some reason, my 5412zl doesn't take the "ip multicast-routing" command.  The image version is K.13.63.  Do you know any version issue to use the ip multicast-routing command?

Below is the ip command that my switch will take.

5412zl(config)# ip ?
 access-list           Enter the named-acl context for the specified access
                       control list.
 arp-age               Modify Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) table entry
                       timeout, specified in minutes.
 authorized-managers   Define the IPV4 addresses allowed to manage the switch.
 default-gateway       Configure the IPv4 default gateway address, which will
                       be used when routing is not enabled on the switch.
 directed-broadcast    Enable/disable directed broadcast forwarding.
 dns                   Configure the DNS (Domain Name System) default domain
                       suffix and the name server IP address for translation of
                       hostnames to IP addresses.
 icmp                  Configure ICMP Rate Limiting capacity.
 irdp                  Enable/disable ICMP Router Discovery Protocol (IRDP).
 load-sharing          Specify the maximum number of equal cost IP load sharing
                       paths.
 route                 Add or delete static routing table entries.
 routing               Enable/disable IP routing support on the device.
 source-binding        Add/remove a static IP-to-MAC binding in the DHCP
                       snooping database.
 source-interface      Define source IP address selection policy for the
                       application protocols.
 source-lockdown       Enable/disable IP source lockdown in global
                       configuration mode.
 source-route          Enable/disable forwarding of source routed packets.
 ssh                   Enable/disable SSH server on the device or set various
                       SSH server parameters.
 timep                 Configure the method to acquire the Timep server
                       address.
 ttl                   Specify TTL for outgoing IP packets.
 udp-bcast-forward     Enable/disable UDP broadcast forwarding.
 zero-broadcast        Enable/disable usage of zero broadcast IP Address.

Run this command, if you dont see it, then you need a premium license. Pretty lame for spending so much amount on kit & you dont get OSPF & PIM. It cost the organisation £3k GBP. Not cheap.

I don't have premium.  Does that mean my 5412zl is not able to do OSPF, PIM-SM/DM, VRRP and QinQ?

Hey Dude,

I had this issue after changing the network from 3 flat vlans to inter-vlan routing. Typically WOL uses udp protocol 7. You have to state which IP address the WOL broadcast packets will propagate from, for me the 2 servers in red in my server-farm send this out at 7:45 every morning. Please see my active config below.

Also remember that your server team will need to test the script, so once you added this config if they try & bounce the problem back to you then its not your problem. 

WOL broadcast works to me.  I have these lines on my config.

ip udp-bcast-forward

vlan 10
  ip forward-protocol udp 172.16.23.255 60000

The problem is Kapersky Admin Kit changed the way it is sending out the WOL magic packet from broadcast to multicast.  That's why I need to route the multicast traffic to other vlan.  But looks like I may not have the license on the switch to do multicast.

That is correct.  Without the premium license, you cannot do OSPF, PIM,

VRRP, PIM

Hi,

 What's the pros and cons of enabling UDP in HP 5400 series in order for WOL to work?

Thanks,
