It doesn't show up when I run arp, but it also doesn't look like turning on gratuitous arps has any effect on this card. At least if it does, it's not reflected in the "print" command: =========================================== [EMAIL PROTECTED] ipmitool lan set 2 arp generate on [EMAIL PROTECTED] ipmitool lan print 2 Set in Progress : Set Complete Auth Type Support : NONE MD5 PASSWORD Auth Type Enable : Callback : NONE MD5 PASSWORD : User : NONE MD5 PASSWORD : Operator : NONE MD5 PASSWORD : Admin : NONE MD5 PASSWORD : OEM : NONE MD5 PASSWORD IP Address Source : Static Address IP Address : XXX.XXX.XXX.205 Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0 MAC Address : 00:a0:d1:e5:d1:8b SNMP Community String : public IP Header : TTL=0x40 Flags=0x40 Precedence=0x00 TOS=0x10 Default Gateway IP : XXX.XXX.XXX.1 802.1q VLAN ID : Disabled 802.1q VLAN Priority : 0 RMCP+ Cipher Suites : 0,1,2,3 Cipher Suite Priv Max : Not Available ========================================= Also, I probably should have mentioned that I originally tried setting this up using the same IP address as eth0 (XXX.XXX.XXX.206). It was only after that failed that I started trying a separate IP address (.205). The errors were the same whether I used .206 or .205. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
