I have an NIC card on a Debian machine somewhere. The machine is turned off, but I need to know whether the NIC card is turned on so that I can send a wake-on-lan magic packet later (from another Debian machine) to wake it up.
I have the MAC address of the card. Is there any way I can ping the ethernet card by MAC to see whether it is on?
I tried creating an ARP entry: arp -s 192.168.2.2 00-0c-0d-ef-02-03 ping 192.168.2.2 That didn't work, since the NIC card does not have this ip address. So the NIC card would receive the ping request but would not reply to it. Is there any way around this?
I am using the etherwake package to send a wake-on-lan message. You might have better luck using the tool arping instead. The tool ping works at the layer 3 level of the, whereas arping works at layer 2. You still need to know the IP of the system however with this tool. There are 2 versions of it, the standard one included with most Unixes (Alexey Kuznetsov's) is the version that can only deal with IP addresses.
The (Thomas Habets') supposedly can query using MAC addresses. $ sudo arping 192.168.1.1 -c 1 ARPING 192.168.1.1 from 192.168.1.218 eth0 Unicast reply from 192.168.1.1 00:90:7F:85:BE:9A 1.216ms Sent 1 probes (1 broadcast(s)) Received 1 response(s) arping works similarly to ping except instead of sending ICMP packets, it sends ARP packets.
Getting a system's IP using just the MAC Here are a couple of methods for doing the reverse lookup of MAC to IP. nmap $ nmap -sP 192.168.1.0/24 Then look in your arp cache for the corresponding machine arp -an.
fping $ fping -a -g 192.168.1.0/24 -c 1 Then look in your arp cache, same as above. ping $ ping -b -c1 192.168.1.255 Then look in your arp cache, same as above. nbtscan (windows only hosts) $ nbtscan 192.168.1.0/24 Doing NBT name scan for addresses from 192.168.1.0/24 IP address NetBIOS Name Server User MAC address - 192.168.1.0 Sendto failed: Permission denied 192.168.1.4 MACH1 00-0b-12-60-21-dd 192.168.1.5 MACH2 00-1b-a0-3d-e7-be 192.168.1.6 MACH3 00-21-9b-12-b6-a7. Thanks for the help.
Marking this as resolved. We couldn't find a WOL option in the BIOS setup. This is my guess: The BIOS did not have WOL turned on, but the NIC did. So the NIC was waking up on the first WOL packet, and was sending a message to the BIOS. But since it was not turned on in the BIOS, the BIOS did not do anything. From this moment onwards, the NIC responded to ping since it was awake, but the machine was not. So quick question: Is it possible for the BIOS to have WOL turned off and the NIC to have it turned on at the same time?

When the CPU of the computer is powered down then there is no running software which would send a reply to a ping. Wake-on-LAN is unidirectional allows the computer to let just the NIC be partially powered on to receive Ethernet frames and look for the magic wake-up sequence in them but the NIC will still not send any reply. Wake-on-LAN is strictly unidirectional. There are no responses sent. Exceptions There are certain special NICs which could send replies by themselves like for example ones implementing a complete. The ether-wake command will work by mac address, so surely you (a) won't need an IP address and (b) can send the command without harm (if it's already awake, waking it will have no impact?) You can see the list of your existing arp cache by using arp -an and grepping for your MAC to get the IP of the target host.
However, because arp is a cache, it may have been 'timed out' of the cache (and still be 'awake'). You then may have to use a brute force method to find it's IP, such as: sudo nmap -sP 192.168.2.0/24 less (and then look for 00:0c:0d:ef:02:03) - provided firewalls and other such things don't get in the way! Sleeping machines will not respond to ping. If the machine is turned on and you ping by IP (and the host reponds), it will put an entry in the arp cache. If the entry in there matches the MAC address of the host, there is a reasonable chance it will work (baring other network firewalls, routers and other physical issues that may cause the ether-wake not to reach it).
I would actually get access to another host onsite, put the target machine to sleep and attempt the ether-wake. By the nature of how WOL works, the request will have to be sent on the same subnet as the host anyway – Aug 9 '13 at 20:06.

Apache Portable Runtime Library (APR) - The Apache Portable Runtime Library provides a predictable and consistent interface to underlying platform-specific implementations, with an API to which software developers may code and be assured of predictable if not identical behavior regardless of the platform on which their software is built, relieving them of the need to code special-case conditions to work around or take advantage of platform-specific deficiencies or features. APR and its companion libraries are implemented entirely in C and provide a common programming interface across a wide variety of operating system platforms without sacrificing performance.
