Power-On/Switch-On via Ethernet

Tue Jun 30, 2020 4:56 pm

Hi,

first did search here but couldn't find anything about my question.

Can I Power-On/Switch-On a PI via ethernet?

I'm using putty ( and realVNC ) and I can do reboot and Power-Off ( sudo reboot, etc... )
but is there a way to Power-On/Switch-On via ethernet?

I don't mean 'power over ethernet' !

Kind regards!

You mean Wake On LAN or WOL
No the RPi does not support WOL without additional add on(s).
Unless specified otherwise my response is based on the latest and fully updated RPiOS Buster w/ Desktop OS.
