I guess I should retest that in my lab. Does 'ipmi.taggedvlan' sound sufficiently descriptive?

On the nodes itself, no vconfig is required, and as long as the pvid is on the lan network, it seems to work (This is on the BNT G8052 switches and dx360 m4). The obvious thing there is that the MN needs to be configured with IPs on the seperate vlans. This has been done on this particular setup, and it seems to work. Maybe have a vlan column in the ipmi table, and then the bmcsetup to somehow grab the info from the fields. The biggest problem for customers if the the network was not isolated, then a person with root access would potentially be able to set an IP in the range and able to power machines down. This is what is being restricted here. But, comments from other people around would also be useful here regards, -- Arif Ali catch me on freenode IRC, username: arif-ali On 1 May 2012 19:56, Jarrod B Johnson <jbjoh...@us.ibm.com> wrote: It's a moderately small change to support the vlan tag setup on IPMI 2.0 devices. The biggest problem is in the case where it would be used, it's actually fairly spotty. For example, last time I looked, if you set a service processor to use a tagged vlan on an igb based device, the traffic would not be passed if the driver loaded and no one did a 'vconfig add' on the nic. In that scenario I personally couldn't seriously recommend the configuration (for one, it makes it more blatantly obvious there is little meaningful separation of the NIC VLAN from the service processor vlan, for another I'm wary of strategies which require the OS to be configured and run *just right* for the systems management to work...). If my view of the world is outdated or a significant number of people think I'm too picky, I can add the vlan config option.
