Hi All,
It looks like the sequence number field from response is not matched with
that of request in IPMI V1.5 LAN.
I have a script that gives
'ipmitool -I lan -H IP -U <user> -P <pwd> lan print'
in while loop.
At times when packets take time to reach BMC, the IPMITool retries same
packet with incremented sequence number.
This causes BMC to think they are stand alone requests and gives response
for all the retries. Whereas IPMITool mistakes the response for 'retries' as
response for next parameter.
IPMITool -> BMC (Seq 4, Get LAN Configuration parameter 3)
IPMITool -> BMC (Seq 5, Get LAN Configuration parameter 3) - Retry
IPMITool -> BMC (Seq 6, Get LAN Configuration parameter 3) - Retry
BMC -> IPMITool (Seq 4, Get LAN Configuration parameter 3)
IPMITool -> BMC (Seq 7, Get LAN Configuration parameter 5)
BMC -> IPMITool (Seq 5, Get LAN Configuration parameter 3) - Retry Response
IPMITool -> BMC (Seq 8, Get LAN Configuration parameter 4)
BMC -> IPMITool (Seq 6, Get LAN Configuration parameter 3) - Retry Response
.
.
.
.
There on, all the responses are interleaved and output is a mess.
IP - 192.168.1.1
MAC - 192:168:1:1:0:0
IP Address parameter response is taken for MAC Address parameter response.
This also shows that response length has not been verified.
Thanks
