Send Wake-on-LAN Magic Packet · Risk: write
Sends a Wake-on-LAN (WOL) magic packet to a target host by MAC address (/tool wol) — wakes a powered-off but WOL-enabled device on the local network without requiring its IP address. Optionally specify interface to control which router interface broadcasts the magic packet; omit it to let RouterOS choose automatically. This is a fire-and-forget write: returns confirmation that the packet was dispatched but does NOT verify that the target device actually powered on. mac must be a colon-separated MAC address string, e.g. 'AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF'.
| Parameter | Required | Definition |
|---|---|---|
mac | Yes | Target MAC address, e.g. 'AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF' {"type":"string"} |
interface | No | Interface to send the magic packet from {"type":"string"} |
