On some machines it's the same IP, and on some it's different, and it has to be configured separately from the OS. The channel list is strange, but you may not have a LAN interface on that system. A LAN interface is not required.
There are only 16 possible channels, and 0xe and 0xf are special, so if you list more than that, ipmitool seems to truncate the number to 16 bits so you get the same thing over and over. From what is displayed, you do not have a LAN interface. -corey Dieter Plaetinck wrote: > On Wed, 01 Jul 2009 10:19:44 -0500 > Corey Minyard <miny...@acm.org> wrote: > > >> Can you do any IPMI operation over the lan, like a get device id?
