Setting a Client to Be a Preferred Wake on WAN Proxy (6x)

Overview

Depending on your environment, you might need to designate particular clients that Surveyor will check first when it needs to select a new Wake on WAN proxy. This article provides a step-by-step guide to configuring this setting.

Process

  1. In the Administrator console, click Devices on the Verdiem menu icon.PNG.
  2. Click a group to view the devices assigned to that group.
    Alternatively, you can also click the Search button in the Administrator console, and filter the device view.

    Configure the search filters to match the attributes of the computers that you want to set as preferred proxies, or that you want to set never to be selected as a proxy.

    NOTE: For tips and more information, refer to Surveyor's Process of Electing Wake on WAN Proxies.

  3. Select one or more of the computers in the device list, and then from the Item Actions menu, click Edit Device Properties.
  4. In the Edit Device Properties dialog box, select the Preferred Wake on WAN proxy checkbox and then choose the setting that you want for the selected computers.
    • Preferred increases the ranking of the selected computers in the proxy-selection criteria.
    • Never prevents the selected computers from being chosen as proxies.
    • Default means that other computer attributes will be used as selection criteria, and these computers are only selected if there are no preferred proxies available.
