Wake on Lan (not showing machine)

Installing and Using OpenWrt Network and Wireless Configuration
1

Hi,

I can not remember if I have asked this before (can not find the thread if I have) but I am trying to using WOL on openWRT on my BananaPi R64 to Wake my Ubuntu 24.04 desktop machine. However, the mac address/ip address on the desktop machine do not get picked up by Luci when I have already logged in to the Ubuntu machine. Not the machine has been asleep and not shutdown, is it a Ubuntu configuration I need to check?

Thanks,

Aaron

A quick workaround to add the device to the list of known hosts would be to create an entry in /etc/config/dhcp.

uci add dhcp host
uci set dhcp.@host[-1].name='Ubuntu'
uci set dhcp.@host[-1].mac='00:11:22:33:44:55'
uci commit dhcp
service dnsmasq restart

Thanks! Will see if it solves the problem.
