Yep, both the original subnet and the one the DHCP service was reporting (just in case the DRAC had switched over to DHCP.) > Actually you do not need a laptop.

I didn't want to do this because I'm not 100% certain that the switch would pass the traffic. It's some huge Cisco thing so for all I know it was set up to only route the allowed subnet across that VLAN. It was probably lucky I did take the laptop, otherwise right now I wouldn't know whether the DRAC was non-responsive or if the switch was dropping the packets. > If the DRAC answers to ARP you will see it in you MAC address table. At the end of the exercise I had close to 255 entries in the ARP table, all with an "(incomplete)" MAC address. It's looking more and more like the DRAC has crashed...
