As mentioned earlier, the BMC is a different MAC from any interface you might see from the OS side. Think of it as a separate computer that shares a physical network port (assuming it doesnt have a dedicated port). Imagine what would happen if you put two devices on the network with the same MAC. You don't want to do that. defgw macaddr is for setting what it thnks the Default Gateway's MAC address is. You will need to set the IP, netmask and gateway using the appropriate tool (I prefer ipmitool). keep in mind that because the device shares a port you most likely wont be able to use IPMI to talk over the LAN to the device from the OS on the same box. -- Jonathan Billings <billings at negate.org>
