[Freeipmi-users] cannot ping bmc

[Harald Dunkel]

Hi folks,

I have assigned an IP address using bmc-config --checkout and
--commit as described in the man page, I see this change on
another bmc-config --checkout, but I cannot ping the IP address
from another host:

% ipmiping 172.18.2.125
ipmiping 172.18.2.125 (172.18.2.125)
response timed out: rq_seq=27
:

% ping 172.18.2.125
PING 172.18.2.125 (172.18.2.125) 56(84) bytes of data.
>From 172.18.1.5 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable
>From 172.18.1.5 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable
:

I can ping and ipmiping other hosts in this subnet without
problems. The gateway is open for ICMP between both subnets,
too.

Here is the Lan_Conf section:

The cables are plugged in, of course. Any helpful comment
would be highly appreciated.
