During POST, the only place where I can set up an IP address is the Remote 
Access Configuration Utility (accessible via Ctrl+E). I have: 

Baseboard Management Controller Revision		1.77
Remote Access Controller Revision (Build 07.12.22)	1.32
Primary Backplane firmware Revision			1.05

In the following settings, the only IP address I can see is in LAN 
Parameters. Whatever the NIC Selection option is (Dedicated, Failover, or 
Shared), I don't see any other IP address to set. Both BMC and DRAC answer 
to that address too (Web GUI for the DRAC, ipmitool for the BMC, for 
instance).

Could you please give more details about the setup, especially about how to 
use different physical network ports for the BMC and for the DRAC?

Thanks!
