When the site is configured for Wake On LAN and clients are configured for wake-up proxy, the process works as follows:Ĭomputers that have the Configuration Manager SP1 client installed and that are not asleep on the subnet check whether other computers on the subnet are awake. Wake-up proxy uses a peer-to-peer protocol and elected computers to check whether other computers on the subnet are awake, and to wake them if necessary. If you have Configuration Manager SP1, you can supplement the traditional wake-up packet method by using the wake-up proxy client settings.

This is probably the most "amazing" feature since MS network load balancing.Ĭonfiguration Manager supports two wake on local area network (LAN) technologies to wake up computers in sleep mode when you want to install required software, such as software updates and applications: traditional wake-up packets and AMT power-on commands. The wake up proxy feature is explained here in more detail. Not sure if this it the default behavior of the latest SCCM or not, but it seems like a crazy feature.

I can only imagine what I would have seen if there was also dynamic arp inspection configured.

Needless to say, we were seeing tons of mac address flapping and port-security issues. We had a hard time tracking down the issue.Īpparently Microsoft's SCCM has a new feature called "wake up proxy" whereby host a pretends to be host b (host a spoof's the mac address of host b) when host b goes to sleep. I ran into it the other day at a customer site. Just wondering if anyone has run into this problem.
