NAMEipmiping - send IPMI Get Authentication Capabilitiy request to network
hosts
SYNOPSISipmiping [OPTION...] destination
DESCRIPTIONipmiping uses the IPMI Get Channel Authentication Capabilities request
datagram to elicit an IPMI Get Channel Authentication Capabilitiesl
response from a remote host. The utility can be used to verify if a
remote host supports IPMI. The initial starting sequence number will be
randomized. ipmiping will return 0 to the environment if it receives
atleast 1 response from the remote host. Otherwise, it exists with a
value of 1.
OPTIONS
The following options are available
-h Output help menu.
-V Output version.
-c count
Stop after sending count packets.
-i interval
Wait interval seconds between sending each packet. The default
is to wait for one second between each packet.
-I interface address
Set source address to specified interface address. Argument may
be numeric IP address or name of device.
-t timeout
Time to wait for a response, in seconds. Default is five sec‐
onds.
-v Verbose output.
-s num Specify an initial starting sequence number. The default is to
use a random initial sequence number.
-d Turn on debugging.
-r version
Specify IPMI version. Available options are "1.5" and "2.0".
Default is to use "1.5". Note that packets will always be sent
with the IPMI 1.5 protocol, but IPMI 1.5 vs IPMI 2.0 relevant
fields will be communicated in the Get Channel Authentication
Capabilities datagram depending on user choice.
KNOWN ISSUES
It has been observed that some remote BMCs can get "confused" and delay
packet responses if duplicate packets (with duplicate sequence numbers)
are sent in succession very quickly. There is no known way to cleanly
deal with a "confused" BMC other than the wait awhile.
Unlike ping(8), local network devicess (e.g. 127.0.0.1) cannot be
"pinged".
