Hi all,

I'm having some trouble with a Supermicro SMC-0001 IPMI on a X5DPL-iGM
mainboard.

Basically, IPMI works (mostly, see below) locally, but not from the LAN;
tcpdump shows me lots of:

  19:50:42.680421 IP 10.112.127.22.32820 > 10.112.127.12.623: UDP, length: 23
  19:50:42.680828 IP 10.112.127.12 > 10.112.127.22: icmp 59: 10.112.127.12 udp
port 623 unreachable

(the .12 ip is the machine with the IPMI card). The remote access command I
used:

  IPMI_PASSWORD=xxxx ./ipmitool -I lan -H 10.112.127.12 -U ADMIN -E lan print 1

I read here

  http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=10424129&forum_id=36436

about having to flash the IPMI card with the right image for the motherboard.
I used the Supermicro 2.02 cd that came with the card for that, but it did
not help at all.

I'm also seeing some weird things in combination with the Supermicro ipnmac
tool that allows setting the IP and MAC address from a Linux system. This is
the output from 

  ipmitool -I open lan print 1

Default Gateway IP      : 22.127.112.10
Default Gateway MAC     : f4:ee:27:48:30:00

As you can see, the IP and MAC address are *reversed*. This is the output
after setting them with the ipnmac tool.

I manually set the Gateway IP and MAC address reversed like that with
ipmitool, but that didn't help to fix my remote access problems.

Which tool does the right thing?

Suggestions on how to do something about the port 623 unreachable problem?

All of this is ipmitool 1.8.8.

Thanks,
Ward.
