Radu, That message from ipmiutil lan indicates that it really does not have any LAN channels. Note that the PE1750 is IPMI 1.0, instead of 1.5 or 2.0, so that is probably why.

Indeed i had great succes with ipmiutil on Dell PE-1850, 1950, SC1425, However PE-1750 is a bit strange. It appears it does not have a LAN channel. By checking dmidecode, i find this: IPMI Device Information Interface Type: BT (Block Transfer) Specification Version: 1.0 I2C Slave Address: 0x10 NV Storage Device: Not Present Base Address: 0x00000000000000E4 (I/O) Register Spacing: Successive Byte Boundaries Interrupt Polarity: Active High Interrupt Trigger Mode: Edge Interrupt Number: a By issuing ipmiutil lan i get this output: ipmiutil ver 2.69 ilan ver 2.69 -- BMC version 1.80, IPMI version 1.0 This IPMI v1.0 system does not support PEF records. This system does not support IPMI LAN channels. Could it be that PE-1750 does not have a LAN channel? I find it very odd.
