I'm trying to get bmcdiscover to work. Fresh install of xCAT 2.14.4 on
RedHat 7.4. I have two nodes at 192.168.103.11 and 192.168.103.13; they do
respond to ARP and ping. I used to run earlier versions of xCAT (2.13 I
believe) on the same hardware, and at the time had bmcdiscover working.

I currently have no nodes defined in xCAT yet, just the networks. DHCP is
working.

nmap can find the nodes without a problem:

[root@TEST ~]# nmap -sn 192.168.103.11

Starting Nmap 6.40 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2018-11-14 15:29 PST
Nmap scan report for 192.168.103.11
Host is up (0.00037s latency).
MAC Address: 50:9A:4C:XX:XX:XX (Unknown)
Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.03 seconds

But BMCDiscover does not see this node:

[root@TEST ~]# bmcdiscover -s nmap --range=192.168.103.11 -z
Warning: [mn-test]: No bmc found.

I also used tcpdump to see the traffic generated by bmcdiscover; I only see
ARP requests - bmcdiscover does not seem to even try to connect to the BMC.

[root@TEST ~]# tcpdump -i p1p1 -vv not stp
tcpdump: listening on p1p1, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size
262144 bytes

What am I overlooking?

Thanks!
