wolod - Wake-on-LAN over DHCP

wolod encapsualtes a WoL payload in a DHCP message to be sent via a DHCP relay/helper for delivery to the layer 2 network. This allows for WoL to be deployed across layer 3 networks without the need to enable directed broadcast on the final router.

Usage

     wolod [-u] [-c client-address] [-H chaddr] [-l local-address]
           [-p local-port] [-P relay-port] [-t dhcp-msg-type] -h mac-address
           -r relay-address

Requirements

  • This builds and runs on OpenBSD
  • probably eait-itig/dhcp-relay on the last router
