Defining Wakepoints

Before you can begin waking managed endpoints, you must define an agent-managed endpoint as a wakepoint within each network segment (VLAN). Wakepoints relay wake requests from the Ivanti Endpoint Security to other network endpoints. You cannot use Ivanti Wake on LAN (WOL) features within your network until you define wakepoints.

Prerequisites:

Ensure agents are installed on endpoints you want to define as wakepoints.

  1. Select Tools > Wake on LAN.
    The Wake on LAN page opens to the WOL Configuration tab.
    Ivanti Wake on LAN Page with the WOL configuration tab active

  2. From Wake Times section, select how you will wake managed endpoints. Select one or both of the following options.

    Table: Wake options in the Wake Options section

    Option

    Description

    Wake endpoints using start times in Agent Policy Sets - Hours of Operation (HOP)

    Wakes endpoints based on the hours of operation (HOP) setting defined in an agent policy set. Wake requests are sent when at the beginning of a HOP range.

    This option is only available when the Patch and Remediation module is installed.

    Wake endpoints using custom daily wake times defined for groups

    Wakes endpoints in selected Ivanti Endpoint Security groups at a user-defined time.

    Ivanti Wake on LAN is enabled.

  3. From the Wakepoint Configuration section, add wakepoint(s).
    Wakepoints are managed endpoints with the Wakepoint module installed. Wakepoints relay wake requests from Ivanti Endpoint Security to managed endpoints within your network.

    1. Under assigned wakepoints click Add.
      The Add Wakepoints dialog opens.

      Add Wakepoints Dialog displaying endpoints that can be used as wakepoints

    2. Select the endpoints you want to install the wakepoint module on.

    3. Click OK.
      The Add Wakepoints dialog closes.

  4. Click Save.
    The changes to your configuration are saved.

Ivanti Endpoint Security configures your chosen endpoints to be wakepoints.
