Remote shutdown through WOL mechanism?

I am not sure this is the right place to post this; my apologies in advance if it is not the right place.

I am running openSuSE 13.1, and I have wake-on-lan working. From what I have read elsewhere, it also sounds like it is possible to shutdown a computer remotely via a similar mechanism. The magic packet utility that I used to WOL my 13.1 installation also has an option to send a shutdown command via what looks like the same mechanism. However, when I do this, the 13.1 installation does not shut down.

Is it possible to set 13.1 so that it will shutdown when this shutdown command is received via the NIC?

Thanks.
