Systems Management

I'm testing K1000 system management appliance v8, and everything seems to check out OK except for wake on lan. From what I gather, it only works on the same subnet now. If you need to WOL across subnets you need to use a relay.

Does that relay agent need to reside on the same subnet as the machine being woken up? I've been going back and fourth with support on this, and he's saying it shouldn't matter which subnet it's on. However, it's not working for me. This is after adjusting router ACLs for directed broadcast to account for the agent sending the packets instead of the server. As a test I even set that ACL to permit any any on sending and receiving side. No dice. It works perfectly fine in version 7.2.

I need to be able to wake a machine on a subnet that doesn't already have a machine powered on. We trained everyone to power off their machines when they leave for the day, and we use a combo of timers (every AM), and WOL (for scheduled/emergency maintenance). I'm not confident I can get someone at all our locations to leave a machine powered on if we need them to. I preemptively opened a feature request to be able to do this once more, but I'm reaching out in the event it's an issue on my end I need to resolve somehow. Thanks in advance.
