rbojanssen Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 I read some warnings for having dual NICS on the same network. My main NIC is a 10Gb network card but this doesn't support Wake On Lan. The 2nd NIC does support Wake On Lan and I would like to use it but for that it needs to be on the same network. Is this possible and safe? Regards Ronald Quote Link to comment

Solution Vr2Io Posted October 16, 2022 Solution Share Posted October 16, 2022 (edited) WOL is a series ethernet packet relate MAC address only, doesn't protocol TCP/UDP. WOW ( wake on wan ) was a way to bridge both. Even you need WOW, that NIC also don't need IP. Edited October 16, 2022 by Vr2Io Quote Link to comment
