802.1x and Wake on Lan with CS101-8FP

Hello everybody,

I'm currently trying to find a way to enable some clients to be started via WoL.

It appeared to be working, but since we enabled 802.1x to finalize the testing behind the switch, it does not work as it did before.

For HP Switches (they should be replaced by Sophos), enabling "aaa port-access controlled-direction in" was solving the issue.

Is anybody aware if this is somehow possible with the Sophos Switches? Or is the CS101-8FP (used the testing) to small?

Many thanks in advance for any hint

Linus

Hello Linus, Currently, if 802.1x is enabled on any of the Switch Ports, the WOL magic packet won't be sent if Authentication is required. PM has added this as a Feature Request based on your Feedback…

Thank you very much for the feedback. We're looking forward to see this in one of the next releases and be then able to replace the current setup.
