How to send wake on lan from qubes?

[gal...@gmail.com]

I'm trying to remotely wake a computer from qubes with these commands:

sudo ether-wake -b MAC
sudo ether-wake MAC

Neither version works and I get no error messages.

The remote computer wakes remotely from other (non qubes) computers.

I've tried from a template VM and a normal VM.

ether-wake is not available in the dom0 terminal.

Is there some setting I need to configure in qubes to make this work?

These commands only work from a NetVM by default because they require
knowledge of the target machine's MAC address, and that is only
available in the NetVM.

You may want to try Qubes network server which lets your AppVM do ARP on
the LAN.

Thank you all for your help. Wake on lan works from the sys-net VM and I am happy with this solution.
