ip addr
su
ethtool enp1s0f0
ethtool enp1s0f1
ethtool -s enp1s0f0 wol g
ethtool enp1s0f0

What the g or the other options mean is stated here (source):

p Wake on phy activity
u Wake on unicast messages
m Wake on multicast messages
b Wake on broadcast messages
a Wake on ARP
g Wake on MagicPacket(tm)
s Enable SecureOn(tm) password for MagicPacket(tm)
d Disable (wake on nothing). This option clears all previous options.

Permanently enable WOL by creating the file /etc/systemd/system/wol@.service as root with the following content:

[Unit]
Description=Wake-on-LAN for %i
Requires=network.target
After=network.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/ethtool -s %i wol g
Type=oneshot

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Then activate this new service for your network adapter:

systemctl enable wol@enp1s0f0
systemctl start wol@enp1s0f0

Suspend:

# Install using   pacman -S pm-utils
sudo pm-suspend
# or ( see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/systemd#Power_management )
systemctl suspend

To get the package to a PC on a different (routed) subnet, simply include the IP address when waking it up. (Some resources for more complicated subnet setups: 1 2 3).

Wakeup from Mac OS X

# Install using   brew install wakeonlan
wakeonlan 00:de:ad:be:ef:ff
