Hi John,
Thanks for the explanation.
I looked at the BIOS and found the following where the pseudo MAC
address is from:
################################################################################
Planar Ether 1 MAC Address: E4:1F:13:77:16:5F ============> This is
shown in ifconfig eth0
Planar Ether 2 MAC Address: E4:1F:13:77:16:60 ============> This is
shown in ifconfig eth1
BMC MAC Address: E4:1F:13:77:16:61 ======> This is the MAC address my
SW is showing on the SW port connected to my eth0
Slot 1 MAC Address: 00:15:17:EB:AE:A4 ===========> This is shown in
ifconfig eth2
########################################################
I got some pointers over web on how to disable the BMC so that it
would not use eth0.
But another question in my mind is what is the significance of BMC MAC
address here? (How different is it from the MAC addresses of other
conneted NIC cards and how OS uses it)?
And why not BIOS shows all the NIC devices detected ? (because
"ifconfig -a" shows eth0/eth1/eth2/eth3 for me with eth3 MAC is:
00:15:17:EB:AE:A5. I could not see eth3 MAC address in the above BIOS
output).
Thanks for your time.
Regards,
Sri
