This behavour could be controlled by some flags in the BMC:
# ipmitool lan set 1 arp respond on
# ipmitool lan set 1 arp generate on
I had BMCs where gratuitous ARP was needed as the standard ARP responses
were not working. To minimize the impact of the broadcasts I expanded the
delay between those packages up to 127 seconds.
