[Freeipmi-users] rmcpping and simulated pong replies

[Thomas Favre-Bulle]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to simulate a BMC and I'm currently working on reproducing 
its networking behaviour (i.e. reply to RMCP-ASF ping, IPMI auth 
challenge, etc.).
According to ASF v2.0 specs (DSP0136), a pong reply should have the same 
message tag as the ping message, a sequence number of 0xff and message 
type of 0x40.  It also carries a data payload (which is pretty simple 
for a standard message and should be equal to this -> 
00:00:11:be:00:00:00:00:81:00:00:00:00:00:00:00h).
I'm using rmcpping to run tests, but so far I'm unable to get a working 
pong reply.
Analyzing packets with wireshark as shown no incorrect data (both in 
ping and pong messages).
In the file ping-tool-common.c at line 522 (freeipmi v0.8.6), only the 
message sequence number equality is tested.

My question is rather simple : what is exactly tested by rmcpping to 
identify a correct pong reply ?

I've been searching through the mailing list's archives but I couldn't 
find a similar problem (I've done some googling as well).

Thanks,
