Hi Klaus,

Not a direct answer to your IPMI question but if you have DRAC you can get
those MAC addresses a few ways.

RACADM
ssh to the DRAC IP and run this:
racadm get NIC.VndrConfigPage.1
Change the 1 to the sequential number of the NIC for which you need the MAC.

DRAC GUI
For 12 Gen and newer you can view the NIC MAC info by logging into the DRAC
and going in the side navigation to Hardware > Network Devices. Click on
the Integrated link for LOM ports and then click on the NIC you want info
for and view the MAC.
