Thanks for that detailed explanation.
I just installed a DRAC/4 card in my PE-840 and am trying to configure
its address to access the Web UI.
Here is what I did so far:
pyrrhus:~# ipmitool lan print
Set in Progress : Set Complete
Auth Type Support : NONE MD2 MD5 PASSWORD
Auth Type Enable : Callback : MD2 MD5
: User : MD2 MD5
: Operator : MD2 MD5
: Admin : MD2 MD5
: OEM : MD2 MD5
IP Address Source : DHCP Address
IP Address : 10.0.3.155
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
MAC Address : 00:19:b9:fe:01:11
SNMP Community String : public
IP Header : TTL=0x40 Flags=0x40 Precedence=0x00 TOS=0x10
Default Gateway IP : 10.0.3.1
Default Gateway MAC : 00:00:00:00:00:00
Backup Gateway IP : 0.0.0.0
Backup Gateway MAC : 00:00:00:00:00:00
802.1q VLAN ID : Disabled
802.1q VLAN Priority : 0
Cipher Suite Priv Max : Not Available
However I can't ping that 10.0.3.155 address (even though it was
obtained through dhcp) or access any web service on it.
Is there a particular port?
