IPMI vlan and host vlan on one nic

[ANieś]

Hi,

can i have the same vlan on host nic1 and ipmi lan ?

The situation looks as follows:

1) server with two nic (NIC1 and NIC2, but we only use NIC1)

2) in linux on server NIC1 (name eth0) i create tagged vlan:

ip link add link eth0 name eth0.101 type vlan id 101

ip add add 169.254.203.254/24 dev eth0.101

3) configure ipmi

# ipmitool lan print

Set in Progress : Set Complete Auth Type Support : NONE MD5 PASSWORD Auth Type Enable : Callback : NONE MD5 PASSWORD : User : NONE MD5 PASSWORD : Operator : NONE MD5 PASSWORD : Admin : NONE MD5 PASSWORD : OEM : IP Address Source : Static Address IP Address : 169.254.203.1 Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0 MAC Address : 00:1e:67:21:3d:be SNMP Community String : INTEL IP Header : TTL=0x00 Flags=0x00 Precedence=0x00 TOS=0x00 BMC ARP Control : ARP Responses Enabled, Gratuitous ARP Disabled Gratituous ARP Intrvl : 0.0 seconds Default Gateway IP : 169.254.203.254 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 : 101 802.1q VLAN Priority : 0 RMCP+ Cipher Suites : 1,2,3,6,7,8,11,12,0 Cipher Suite Priv Max : caaaXXaaaXXaaXX : X=Cipher Suite Unused : c=CALLBACK : u=USER : o=OPERATOR : a=ADMIN : O=OEM

4) connect NIC1 to switch with tagged vlan 101

With this configuration i can't connect to ipmi from Linux when i run ping 169.254.203.1 i don't receive response

ARP table on the switch show only mac od the NIC1 in linux host.

I am doing something wrong or such a solution does not work?

Hello,

To answer your question, you cannot have the same vlan on host nic1 and ipmi lan. It is not supported.

If i create tagged vlan for ipmi and i want to be able to connect in. I need to have server with access to that vlan, if that server is intel brand i can't have ipmi on nic where i have access vlan to ipmi network.

How can i solve problem where i need to have tagged vlan on nic to access ipmi and tagged vlan on ipmi on the same NIC ?
