Route WOL "magic packets"

Hi,

I am trying to route WOL "magic packets" on Cisco equipment between 2 interfaces configured : 10.1.1.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24.

I want to wake PC by sending a directed broadcast from subnet 10.x to 192.x (i.e.: WOLexecutable : MAC# - IP subnet broadcast#).

I have enabled "ip directed-bradcast" on both interface as well as tried to assign a new IP bradcast adress using "ip broadcast-address 192.168.1.255" on the interface where the PC to be waked resides. Nothing seems to work.

Please help!!!

Thx

Also, if the client PC is connected to a switch, you'll want to disable spanning tree on that port. If it's a Cisco switch, then enable Portfast.
