Abstract
In a method for waking up a computer, a data unit is received at a first port of a network switching device via a first network link. The first port of the network switching device is coupled to the first network link. The network switching device is used to determine whether the data unit includes data indicative of a wake-up event for the computer, and to change a state of a second network link to wake up the computer if the data unit includes data indicative of the wake-up event for the computer. The second network link is coupled to a second port of the network switching device.
