WoL patterns for Windows 2k8 r2

NTDEV
1

Hi All

How is WoL for interfaces configured in the real world Windows 2k8 r2 server installations? I am trying to put a test plan for my driver to cover all WoL patterns, events and offloads viz., IPv4 TCP Syn, IPv6 TCP Syn, Flex Bitmap Pattern, Magic Packet, Media connect, ARP offload and NS offload.

  1. What should I do to configure the interface to wake up the system on arrival of a IPv4/v6 TCP Syn packet with a specified Src & Dest addresses and Src & Dest Ports?
  2. How do I set custom Flex patterns on the interfaces? Currently by default OS sets only one Wake up pattern (I think Netbios pattern) but the driver can support more patterns how can I exhaust all of that?
  3. How do I set custom ARP & NS offload parameters? Here too driver can support ARP offload for more than one MAC/IP address pair. How can I exhaust all of that?

All of the above is possible from the driver/adapter point of view but I dont see how the user is enabled to do all of the above.

I searched and searched the documentations and all I got was http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee617165(WS.10).aspx

Initially I thought I could use Wol7patterns test in ndistest, but that wont run on a system where only Hibernate is supported and standby is not. There is an errata/waiver for this in WHQL submission. But how do I do WoL testing for an adapter, which is strictly paired with a system that cant do standby, but still WoL from Hibernate is wished for?

It will be very helpful if someone can point me to a, “Systems Administrator guide” may be. Which has steps to configure WoL for interfaces in Windows 2k8 r2.

Thanks
