Abstract
The invention presents a Wake On LAN (WOL) test system and method thereof, wherein the system is applied for a client/server structure with the ILO (Integrated Lights-Out) inside server platform. The system is composed of an examiner end, an examinee end and a network domain. And through the WOL test module automates the WOL test procedure.
Claims22
A Wake On LAN (WOL) test system, comprising:
- a network domain;
- an examiner end, a server end in the network domain, having a WOL test module, the WOL test module providing a user interface for setting a test configuration and sending out a magic packet according to the test configuration;
- at least an examinee end, a client end in the network domain, having a WOL module for retrieving at least one MAC ID and uploading the MAC ID to the examiner end, and while receiving the magic packet, the WOL module wakes the examinee end;
- and
- an ILO (Integrated Lights-Out) management platform, a remote management service platform of the examiner end, providing the examiner end for querying the examinee end and operating the examinee end.
