That assumes that it's using eth0. My guess is that in this situation he has a seperate management port with the correct mac. If you do have regular network traffic and IPMI traffic on the same port then you may want to consider putting them on different IP addresses. That way if the BMC gets overloaded it doesn't affect the OS. For example, I had a BMC that wasn't responding to ARPs fast enough and the OS didn't recieve the ARP requests because they were on the same IP so NFS timed out on the OS. Or another thing with SoL sometimes the BMC couldn't keep up so packets would reach the OS which would respond with bogus packets back to ipmitool killing the session. What I suggest is put the IPMI traffic on a different subnet. Network traffic: 192.168.1.42 IPMI traffic: 192.168.2.42 On the management system `ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.2.1` regards, dan carpenter ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
