wake on lan via webgui

empbilly

hi,

Is there any way to upload a file with the macs on wake on lan via webgui?

If not, it might be a nice improvement to make.

@empbilly one way you could populate this is via backing up the wake-on-lan section in backup restore under diagnostics

Then edit the xml putting in what you want

Then do a restore of this section.

I would suggest you put atleast 1 wake on lan in each interface - so you sure what interface is what in the xml. For example my interface that I called dmz, is actually opt9

edit: So I added a couple of items for example. I don't actually use or have use of this feature. But you can see how easy it would be to edit this xml file

<wol>
	<wolentry>
		<interface>opt9</interface>
		<mac>64:52:99:6b:84:76</mac>
		<descr><![CDATA[Chamberlin-Hub]]></descr>
	</wolentry>
	<wolentry>
		<interface>lan</interface>
		<mac>00:13:3b:2f:67:62</mac>
		<descr><![CDATA[wol i5-win]]></descr>
	</wolentry>
</wol>

Be fore warned - when you restore a config, even a section it prob going to reboot your pfsense.

@empbilly I don't know if you've tried this yet or not, but in the DHCP Leases page under the Status menu, you can easily (with a couple of clicks) add machines to the WOL list by clicking the little blue plus button in the Action column.
