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

							: 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?
