Array of MAC addresses for which to construct magic packets. The array should be provided in standard comma-separated string format ('1a:2a:3a:4a:5a:aa', '1b:2b:3b:4b:5b:bb', ...). You may use either a colon (:) or a hyphen (-) to delimit each hex value-pair in the MAC address. You may supply this array either directly or via the pipline.

.PARAMETER BroadcastIP .PARAMETER BroadcastIP
The address to which magic packets should be sent in order for them to be broadcast across the subnet. By default this is 255.255.255.255 however, many routers block such global broadcasts. Therefore, it is suggested to use the subnet-specific broadcast address (e.g. 192.168.1.255). You may also use IP6 addresses if you prefer.

.PARAMETER Port .PARAMETER Port
The UDP port that should be used when sending the broadcast. By default this is port 7 (echo). Port 9 (discard) is also a common port. The UDP port that should be used when sending the broadcast. By default this is port 7 (echo). Port 9 (discard) is also a common port.
