No magic packets sent from network-bridge in OMV

As i mentioned, i have two microserver with OMV 1.8: my 24/7 NAS, and my backupserver. Rsync to sync from NAS to backupserver already runs. Now i am trying to automate the backup with waking the backupserver, start the rsync-job and shutdown the backupserver when the job is done.

I installed the WOL-plugin on the source machines and added an entry with the the backupservers name, MAC and IP in the machine-list manually. I did that manually, because scan ended with an error-message. I think the error is caused by the fact that my machine has a network-bridge between eth0, the internal NIC, and eth1, another NIC with Intel-Chipset, that i installed, because there wasn't a free port left in the switch in my server compartment, and because the internal Broadcom-NIC seemed to be a little too slow.

When i send magic packets to the backupserver from my mobile connected to the LAN, the backupserver wakes up instantly from poweroff, but it doesn't, when i click on send in it's WOL-entry on my NAS.

Is it generally possible to send magic packets from a computer, that is connected to the network via bridged NICs?

In this case eth1 is physically connected to the LAN, and eth0 is connected to the backupserver. But when the machine and the bridge is up, there are logically neither eth0 nor eth1, just br0.

I don't want to wake up the machine with the bridge - that is my always on NAS. That should wake up the backupserver, that is connected to one of the bridges NICs. It think, that the WOL-plugin always try to send magic packets via eth0, that doesn't exist in my NAS.

Any idea, where the plugin stores it's settings? Perhaps i can fix the sender interface and MAC there.

@WastlJ
There is no problem with my router (Fritz 7390) and the routing over the bridge, as i can send magic packets to the backupserver via LAN from my mobile. And my LAN obviously works correctly too.

By the way: it were great to have the chance to set up and configure a bridge in the network-section of the webgui - in the moment i just see the manually via cli configured interface, but i can't edit it in the gui. And when i edit the other interfaces, my bridge will be overwritten in /etc/network/interfaces .

To be precise: when my NAS is on, the bridged eth0 and eth1 logically exist, but they have no IP - just br0 has one. According to the interface-tab in the network-settings in the gui the bridge has the MAC of the NIC, that connects the machine to the switch. That is eth1 in this case.

Zitat von subzero79

The scan calls the util nast, like nast -m you can narrow the scan to interface in CLI let's say nast -m -i br0 it should give you a list of all host in the bridge since that's the function of the bridge to be transparent in between the two nics.

Don't know if this needs to be fixed in the core or the plugin

Thanks, subzero79, nast -m -i br0 makes the job of listing the machines in my LAN.

Where can that be fixed?
