Hi,
Sometimes WOL doesn't work on my Dell 720 servers. 4 NIC's enabled/teamed to Team NIC and also Hyper Switch nic on top. 4 NIC's have a fixed Dell MAC address. Team NIC/Hyper-v can generate a MAC adress in a range (differs every time). While scanning Fing takes random one of the NIC's. Dell server sometimes switches between NIC's so WOL won't work on earlier found MAC address. I check the independent NIC setting. All NIçs may wake up the server. How to configure the NIC's on the server so Fing can wake them up? (for noice and power reasons they are running in a 19"rack in the garage)
