Is it a bug in the UDP implementation? Is it related to the docker networking not being able to reach a mac address on the same network as the host? This vanishes when you restart your Pi, but there is way to make it permanent, outlined here.I've made a small utility to send a magic packet to computers on my network to wake them. Sending magic packet to 255.255.255.255:9 with 50:AF:73:1F:A8:0Aīonus task: You can also make an alias so you don’t have to remember the MAC address. Transmission to this address is limited by definition, in that it is never forwarded by the routers connecting the local network to other networks.” So, yeah, the packet is send across your whole local network, and it should hit your PC’s LAN network card, and turn on your PC.

It is the broadcast address of the zero network or 0.0.0.0, which in Internet Protocol standards stands for this network, i.e. Insert your PC’s MAC address after the wakeonlan command, and see how the command sends the magic packet using the broadcast address 255.255.255.255, on Wake-on-LANs default port 9.Īccording to WikiPedia “A special definition exists for the IP broadcast address 255.255.255.255. Install the “wakeonlan” package sudo apt-get install wakeonlan I feel using the Raspbian operating system for this. You also need to know the MAC address of your PC’s (wired) network card, and the IP won’t hurt either. This tutorial assumes that your PC’s network card supports this feature, and that it’s enabled in the BIOS. There’s a feature in network cards, which allows to power on a PC if a certain “magic packet” is received on the physical (MAC) address of the network interface.
