WOL test method

Abstract

The invention relates to a WOL test method applied in a test machine, testing machines which are connected with each other in the same network and at least one machine to be tested, wherein the machine to be tested at least has the WOL function and is at least provided with an unique hardware address and a protocol address in the network, and the communication transmission protocol between the machine to be tested and the testing machines at least includes an address resolution protocol (ARP protocol); when the communication request information is transmitted between the testing machines and the machine to be tested, the protocol address and the hardware address of the testing machines is extracted from the communication request information by the testing machines, and the extracted protocol address and the hardware address are stored in an address database by the address resolution protocol (ARP protocol) according to corresponding mode; and after the machine to be tested is switched off, the hardware address of the machine to be tested is correspondingly taken out from the address database by the testing machines according to the protocol address of the machine to be tested and is processed into a valid hardware address, therefore, the corresponding machine to be tested can be processed by the operation of WOL test according to the valid hardware address.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a test method, more specifically, a method for testing the wake-on-lan function. Background technique [0002] Nowadays, with the continuous development of network technology, Wake On Lan (Wake On Lan) technology has been widely used in enterprises, Internet cafes and some diskless workstations, etc., which is beneficial to the unified control and management of multiple computers on one host. Through this technology, the administrator can start any computer in the local area network at any time, and then control it with functions such as windows remote desktop, which is very convenient. [0003] At present, the basic input and output system (BIOS) of each computer motherboard has a wake-on-lane (WOL) function, but to realize the wake-on-lan function, there are requirements for hardware such as a network card and a power supply, for example, an integrated computer that provides wake-up function needs to be used. Network card, a...

Problems solved by technology

First of all, to perform this type of test, an external connection such as a control switch or other test computers is required, which wastes resources. Secondly, the operation of the entire test process is basically completed manually, that is, it is necessary to manually perform related settings on the machine to be tested, such as opening the BIOS network. It takes a lot of time to wake up the function, etc.; at the same time, the way of manually recording the MAC address is cumbersome and backward and prone to errors, which reduces the test efficiency
