Did you set your IP on the laptop to be in the same subnet as the IP
of the DRAC?

Actually you do not need a laptop. You can add a secondary IP on a server
that has the NIC in the same VLAN as the DRAC card and set the secondary IP
to be in the same subnet as the DRAC one.

If the DRAC answers to ARP you will see it in you MAC address table.
