As far as I know, you can't telnet into it--you have to use the IPMI tool to connect.
Although I think that uses the DRAC, not the BMC. It works well. I just started using it here a month or two ago on a couple of my servers. I can remotely power them up or down with the tool.

I'm getting mixed information from Dell. I can't seem to get ahold of anyone in Tech Support via email. I may have to call them when I'm in front of the server so I can get them to help me set it up. I got instructions from my sales rep's Storage Specialist on how to set it up, and I thought I'd set it up right. I hit CTL+E when the prompt for "configure remote access" came up and gave it a static IP and enabled IPMI over LAN. Still can't telnet to that IP address. It responds to a PING on that IP address, but no telnet/web connection allowed. Just times out. If anyone has any experience with this, can you chime in? If not, I guess I'll give Dell a call eventually.
