well, first, does your motherboard *HAVE* an IPMI management module, and if so, does it use a dedicated ethernet port, or is it 'piggybacked' on eth0 ? the behavior shown could be the latter.
I'd look in the system or motherboard documentation for this... depending on the IPMI module, it may have a web or ssh interface, or it may require another system contact it via an 'ipmitool' of some sort. It probably has an initial user/pass like admin/admin which should be reconfigured during system configuration and deployment.
There might be an option in the bios setup to disable IPMI or give it a static address.
And are you really sure it is from this machine? If you disconnect/shut down, do both IP's stop responding? If you can't trace the wiring from the switch port you are checking to the host, maybe there is an intermediate switch/hub with some other device.
