This is the issue that I have been having when trying to use IPMITOOL to
perform serial-over-lan.
I do not think that this is to do with BAUD rate differences between
BIOS and BMC. I think this can be fixed in the IPMITOOL code.
Duncan sent me a description of a possible cause seen by someone:
"...a SOL data packet with the echo data comes back just after sending
an outbound SOL packet, it will start a retry, and exhaust all retry
attempts because it keeps seeing ack packets for what it didn't send
back...".
With your second issue Sophia, try
- telnet localhost 623
- server : 192.168.0.10
- username : admin
- password : admin
Then this should log you in to the dpccli prompt on the remote system.
Type console when the system is on to get the serial terminal displayed.
- console
Regards
Tom

This sounds like a a baud rate issue. Make sure your BIOS and BMC baud
rates are identical. Under Linux, if you want console redirection, make
sure the baud under your boot parameters and getty are also set to the
same value.
