IPMI and Bonding on R200
Hi,
I am trying to to configure IPMI on Dell PowerEdge R200. Both NICs are connected to DELL Powerconnect 5524 switch (two units in cluster) and there is a LAG configured over switch ports. On the LAG is set VLAN in General mode and tagged vlan 1 and untagged vlan 4.
On server side are NICs set up in bonding.
Configuration of bmc:
Section Lan_Conf
IP_Address_Source Static
IP_Address xx.xx.xx.25
MAC_Address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
Subnet_Mask 255.255.255.0
Default_Gateway_IP_Address xx.xx.xx.254
Default_Gateway_MAC_Address 00:00:00:00:00:00
Backup_Gateway_IP_Address 0.0.0.0
Backup_Gateway_MAC_Address 00:00:00:00:00:00
Vlan_id 4
Vlan_Id_Enable Yes
Vlan_Priority 0
EndSection
On PE R210 this setup works.
But on R200 I am not able to ping IPMI ip address from service station connected also to vlan 4.
Is there something more what I can do to make it work?

Thanks for answer.
The switch configuration is identical both for R200 and for R210. On R210 it is working, but on R200 not.
Also the network settings is same on all servers.
All the servers are also on the same subnet.
Here is relevant part of the switch configuration:
no spanning-tree
vlan database
vlan 2-6
exit
no eee enable
arp timeout 6000
hostname Core-Switch
ip http timeout-policy 3600
ip http secure-server
!
interface vlan 1
ip address xx.xx.xx.xx xx.xx.xx.xx
!
interface vlan 2
name production
!
interface vlan 3
name management
!
interface vlan 4
name private
ip address xx.xx.xx.xx. xx.xx.xx.xx
!
interface vlan 5
name wlan
!
interface vlan 6
name red
ip address xx.xx.xx.xx xx.xx.xx.xx
!
interface gigabitethernet1/0/1
description server01
channel-group 1 mode auto
switchport general allowed vlan add 1,4 untagged

switchport general allowed vlan add 4 tagged
switchport general allowed vlan add 1 untagged
interface Port-channel14
switchport mode general
switchport general allowed vlan add 4 tagged
switchport general allowed vlan add 1 untagged
Acces to ipmi on server (R210) in ports 1/0/1 and 2/0/1 on vlan 4 is working but access to server (R200) on 1/0/14 and 2/0/14 is not working.

The BMC vlan settings on R200 are following:
Vlan_id 4
Vlan_Id_Enable Yes
Vlan_Priority 0
So I guess that the answer is yes, VLAN 4 is configured as tagged.
On R200 is communication on VLAN 1 working fine.
With setting VLAN 1 untagged and VLAN 4 tagged is communication not Working at all on both VLANs.
Thanks for answer.

Hi,
setting port to trunk makes no difference.
I cannot remove the bond at the moment. It is on our production Server.
I was experimenting with shutting one of the physical interfaces on the server down, but also no success.
I can see the arp requests from management station in OS of the destination server. I think that it should not be like that. The arp request should go to the BMC. Or am I wrong?
At the moment when I try to ping ip address from ipmi(BMC) interface i get "Destination Host Unreachable" which means that the arp request do not reach the BMC interface or the BMC inerface do not answer the arp request.
Thanks for help so far.

No, the BMC MAC address does not show up.

No it did not showed up at all in any vlan.
MAC from R210 BMC shows up. I can see two different mac addresses on one interface.
