XMG1915-10E Wake on LAN

LPSt

I 've problems with 2x XMG1915-10E switch related to wake on lan to connected clients - at least on the 2.5 Gbit port. Because clients on a via sfp+ port connected XGS1210-12 switch can be waked up.

In the manual I didn't find a solution. Could it be the speed auto-negotiation or green ethernet? But I changed this setting with no succsess.

Any hints are wellcome.

Regards.

Hi @LPSt,

Issues with Wake on LAN can sometimes be related to compatibility or interaction between the switch port and the client's network interface card (NIC). Generally, the link would speed down to 10 M/F after the PC enters sleep mode.

If the NIC supports WoL, try adjusting the following settings on the client device:

1. Open the Control Panel.
2. Go to Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center.
3. On the left side of the window, click on Change adapter settings.
4. Right-click on the network adapter you want to configure (e.g., Ethernet or Wi-Fi) and select Properties.
5. In the new window, click the Configure button.
6. Click the Advanced tab to see the list of properties.
7. Select the WOL & Shutdown Link Speed option.
8. From the "Value" dropdown, select the ‘100 Mbps First’ or ‘Not Speed Down’ option.

Also, please ensure:

• The ‘Wake on Magic Packet’ property is set to enabled.
• The client's network adapter driver uses the latest version.

Hello Tina,

thanks for your help. But I think it's not on the client side a problem.

Because as I mentioned - when I connect the same client with the same cables to another switch (e.g. XGS1210-12) the client can be waked up.

Yesterday I figured out, that my 2x XMG1915-10E are not on the latest firmware.

So I want to investigate more time to trial that on an newer firmware.

I think - there was a changing related to the green ethernet/EEE capability - if I'm not sure about.

I only need time 😉.

Best Regards.
