Hi,
Then is it a bug in ipmitool? That it sends 0x000 when VLAN ID is disabled. 
“ipmitool lan set 1 vlan id off”
As per the wiki the ipmitool supposed to send values from 0x001 to 0xFFE during 
VLAN ID disable.

I’d imagine it varies by vender (both BMC & network gear), but wiki has a good 
summation -
VLAN identifier (VID): a 12-bit field specifying the VLAN to which the frame 
belongs. The hexadecimal values of 0x000 and 0xFFF are reserved. All other 
values may be used as VLAN identifiers, allowing up to 4,094 VLANs. The 
reserved value 0x000 indicates that the frame does not carry a VLAN ID; in this 
case, the 802.1Q tag specifies only a priority and is referred to as a priority 
tag. On bridges, VID 0x001 (the default VLAN ID) is often reserved for a 
management VLAN; this is vendor-specific. The VID value 0xFFF is reserved for 
implementation use; it must not be configured or transmitted. 0xFFF can be used 
to indicate a wildcard match in management operations or filtering database 
entries.
Basically you should avoid 0,1, and 4095 unless you know your vendor/hw 
supports it for a specific reason.

Dear IPMI Experts,

Need your help in understanding what should be value of VLAN ID value during 
VLAN disable.

The spec doesn’t clearly call out what should be value of VLAN ID when VLAN ID 
enable bit is zero.

As per spec…
data 1
[7:0] - Least significant 8-bits of the VLAN ID. 00h if VLAN ID not used.
data 2
[7] - VLAN ID enable.
0b = disabled, 1b = enabled. If enabled, the BMC will only accept packets for 
this
channel if they have 802.1q fields and their VLAN ID matches the VLAN ID value
given in this parameter.
[6:4] - reserved
[3:0] - most significant four bits of the VLAN ID


I’m trying to disable the vlan id using the command “ipmitool lan set 1 vlan id 
off”
I get the below error.
LAN Parameter Data does not match!  Write may have failed.

When I checked in code ipmi_lanp.c the ipmitool is sending the vlan id as “0 0” 
which is NOT accepted by the BMC.

ipmi_lan_set_vlan_id(struct ipmi_intf *intf, uint8_t chan, char *string)
{
uint8_t data[2];
int rc;
if (string == NULL)
{ data[0] = 0; data[1] = 0; }

But when I replace the VLAN ID  value with 1-4094 along with VLAN ID enable bit 
= 0. I.e,

Data[0] = xxxx xxxx
Data[1] = 0xxx xxxx

Then VLAN ID got disable successfully.

So, my query is what is the expected value of the VLAN ID when VLAN ID enable 
bit is zero as per the spec? should be zero or 1 to 4094 range?
