What I discovered, and shared with support, is for a port to be allowed to forward, when blocked by AAA, the port must be set to STP admin-edge. Here is the part that is not in the ArubaOS-Switch Guide, if you are running spanning-tree, it takes precidence and will block traffic despite the “ controlled-direction in” command.

When the WoL packet is sent from the WoL server to 10.0.1.255, the core SVI 50 will route the packet out to SVI 1, thanks to the ip directed-broadcast command. When the device goes to sleep, the port is de-authorized, the Ethernet port is change to the default untagged VLAN 1, serviced by the core routing device with a SVI of 10.0.1.1. SVI- Service Virtual Interface (Fancy talk for a Layer-3 VLAN) When a device is authorized, it is put in VLAN 100 services by the core routing device with a SVI of 10.0.100.1. The interface untagged must a VLAN serviced by a routing instance. This feature is notorious for being exploited for LAN DOS attacks, therefore I highly recommend setting the optional access list, to only allow WoL from a trusted source. Note: ip directed-broadcast globally activates broadcast forwarding/routing between all VLANs. For Layer-3 Distribution and Access switches, it will do nothing. IP directed-broadcast is only required on the switch performing Layer-3 routing. This allows traffic from the switch to egress the port, so the sleeping computer NIC may process packets. aaa port-access 1/1 controlled-direction in On the switch, you will need to configure the port for controlled-direction in

When I first began working on WoL, I read this post thread, much like many will read as time goes on, and yet I still could not get WoL to work, but eventually I did.
