Hi @pietropesce,

I am not able to comment on the reason for why the host does not Power ON with the received packet. However, to begin with please review the following prerequisites and compatibility: Test Wake-on-LAN for vSphere DPM.

Wake-On-LAN Compatibility as a Prerequisite for Distributed Power Management (1003373) (vmware.com)

Also, please check below links to see if they could help with some troubleshooting this issue.
