.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
program is used to send Wake on LAN (WoL) frames over a local
|
|
Ethernet network to one or more hosts using their link layer (hardware)
|
|
addresses.
|
|
WoL functionality is generally enabled in a machine's BIOS
|
|
and can be used to power on machines from a remote system without
|
|
having physical access to them.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Ar interface
|
|
is an Ethernet interface of the local machine and is used to send the
|
|
Wake on LAN frames over it.
|
|
If there is only one Ethernet device available that is up and running, then the
|
|
.Ar interface
|
|
argument can be omitted.
|
|
.Ar lladdr
|
|
is the link layer address of the remote machine.
|
|
This can be specified as the actual hardware address
|
|
(six hexadecimal numbers separated by colons)
|
|
or as a hostname entry in
|
|
.Pa /etc/ethers .
|
|
.Nm
|
|
accepts multiple
|
|
.Ar lladdr
|
|
addresses.
|
|
Link layer addresses can be determined and set using
|
|
.Xr ifconfig 8 .
|
|
.Sh FILES
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "/etc/ethers" -compact
|
