2. **Send the magic packet**

```
   wakeonlan
```

   **Example:**

```
   wakeonlan 00:11:22:33:44:55
```

   If you need to target a specific broadcast address or port:

```
   wakeonlan -i 192.168.1.255 -p 9 00:11:22:33:44:55
```
4. **Alternative with** `etherwake`

## Part 2: ggRock – Power On Machine via the Machines Tab

1. **Log in**  
   Open your ggRock Admin console at:

```
   https://
```
2. **Go to Machines**  
   In the left sidebar, click **Machines**.
3. **Filter to find your target**  
   Use the search bar at the top to narrow the list by any of:

* **Machine name**
* **MAC address**
* **IP address**
* **System image name**
* **Games image name**
4. **Hover over the machine’s row**  
   Move your cursor onto the row for the desired client. A slim quick-action toolbar will slide out on the right.
5. **Click the Power On button**  
   In that floating toolbar, click the **power symbol** (a circle with a vertical line).  
   Confirm in the prompt if required.
6. **Verify status**  
   The **State** column will update to **Powered On** as ggRock broadcasts the magic packet.

> **Pro Tip:** Click the checkbox at the top-left (in the column header) of the Machines page to select all machines for batch power operations.
