Public bug reported: New to the power management part of node info is this text:
"MAC address - the IP is looked up with ARP and is used if IP address is empty. This is better when the BMC uses DHCP." What is better when the BMC uses DHCP? Does using DHCP make using ARP better? or more accurate? I can't really seem to grok what this explanation of MAC Address actually means.
