Hello John. Thank you for the kind reply. I can say that I do not believe
that any traffic is waking up the box. I can unplug the NIC once booted, and
shutdown only to have the box power up again. I can find no setting in the
BIOS to control what it wakes on.
Ethtool suggests that it is indeed awaiting a magic packet for the wake-up:
# ethtool eno1
Settings for eno1:
Supported ports: [ TP ]
Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
1000baseT/Full
Supported pause frame use: No
Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
1000baseT/Full
Advertised pause frame use: No
Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes
Speed: 1000Mb/s
Duplex: Full
Port: Twisted Pair
PHYAD: 2
Transceiver: internal
Auto-negotiation: on
MDI-X: on (auto)
Supports Wake-on: pumbg
Wake-on: g
Current message level: 0x00000007 (7)
drv probe link
Link detected: yes
The manpage for ethtool says that a "Wake-on" setting of g corresponds to magic
packet. Interesting, if I set it to "d" for disable, it still goes down, waits
a few sec and powers up all by itself.
Any other advice is deeply appreciated.
