I'm pretty sure Cisco switches are set by default to drop directed broadcasts. I remember having a discussion about using WOL for updates, but setting up specific WOL routes from the core to the worksations was a hassle, and then we couldn't turn off the machines after getting patches (without 3rd party tools) so the project was dropped. -Tabo On Fri, Oct 18, 2013 at 12:06 PM, Jim Halfpenny <jim.halfpenny () gmail com>wrote:
All this talk of WOL has me wondering if you can send a broadcast to ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff and see what wakes up.

It wouldn't take long to fire off a packet to every MAC address as it's a single packet and you don't care about the reply. If it is a standardised environment then you could limit the number you would have to send based on OUI.
