Issue 49:

Description

If the system with Linux operating system is stand alone or connected to a network hub, the

communication to iDRAC through the OS to iDRAC pass-through channel for LOM pass-through mode

does not work in the following scenarios:

1. For systems shipped from factory, initially the iDRAC network is in dedicated mode and the OS to iDRAC

pass-through feature for LOM pass-through mode is disabled. The network cable is installed at LAN1. The

host and the iDRAC IPs are configured for static IP addresses in the same subnet. Switch the iDRAC

network from dedicated to shared mode, enable OS to iDRAC pass-through and set the pass-through

mode to LOM.

2. When LAN1 is connected to a switch:

Both iDRAC and the host IPs are configured for static IP addresses in the same subnet.

Either iDRAC or the host IP is configured for static IP address and the other one

received the IP through DHCP.

iDRAC and host both receive the IP through DHCP.
