Private MAC address effects wake on lan?

[match14]

Does using private MAC address effect wake for network access?

The computers app on my Apple TV does not wake my MacBook from sleep. The MacBook is using a private MAC address will this prevent wake for network access?

Does the ATV wake your MacBook from sleep when you turn off private MAC address feature? It's an easy test you can do yourself.

Sorry for the delay in replying I teied turning off private MAC address and the ATV still doesn’t wake the MacBook.

Have you checked the sleep settings on the MacBook?

pmset -g

pmset -g

Yes they all seem correct.

You can post them here, maybe someone can spot something amiss.
These are my settings for all sleep disabled, you should have the opposite
pmset -g
System-wide power settings:
SleepDisabled 1
Currently in use:
standby 1
Sleep On Power Button 1

hibernatefile /var/vm/sleepimage

networkoversleep should be 1

 

[match14]

networkoversleep should be 1

I'll change that.

On a slightly related matter I have being looking here and I can run the command

dns-sd -B _sleep-proxy._udp local

and get results back ok, but when I try

sudo killall -INFO mDNSResponder; tail -1000f /var/log/system.log

I don't see the registered sleep proxies, I'm wondering if this command no longer works as log files have changed on more recent versions of macOS.

Any ideas?

Yes, I think there's very little in the /var/log/system.log for any recent macOS. You'll likely need to use the 'log' command (or some third-party app).

Try

log show --info --last 1h --predicate 'composedMessage contains[c] "mDNSResponder" '

or

log show --info --last 1h --predicate 'process=="mDNSResponder" '

I like to add --style compact option, also. You can delete or modify the "--last 1h" to be 10m or 4h, for example.
