The IPMI Firewall is not an IP filtering firewall. You can enable/disable IPMI
comands for an IPMI Channel (e.g. disable certain commands for the LAN or
serial channel).
If you need IP based access control, you have to set up an external firewall
and block the RMCP port (623).
IMHO the better solution would be not to disclose BMC account information to
everybody ;-)

Subject: [Ipmitool-devel] ipmitool firmware firewall - packet filtering setup -
HOWTO
Hello everybody,
i'm looking for some tutorial/examples how to setup
IPMI firmware firewall, using "ipmitool".
Man page of "ipmitool" provide very brief help about this topic.
Searching web resources, i'v found nothing.
Could you please point me to some place, where there are some basic examplaes
of firewall setting :
allow only some IP addresses to access IPMI, etc.
Thank you all in advance
Tomas
