Magical packet is a broadcast frame which works on OSI Layer 2 where it contains the remote system MAC address and FF or 255 values for data.The first 6 bytes contains “FF FF FF FF FF FF” value and then the MAC address of the target system by repeating 16 times. Magic Packet will trigger the start of a system remotely. When the NIC receives the magical packet the NIC will signal the computer power supply or motherboard to wake-up or boot the system like pressing the power button. The magic packets contains the remote system NIC MAC address where the remote system NIC is only listening to the network in low-power mode even the system is powered down.

A minimum of one computer with unattended agent installed should be online in the target network.The remote computer should be connected to the power source.
