Thanks a lot,
I entered the Bios setup and found out the BMC configurantion, where I set the IP address and User+password information.
It worked just fine, thanks for the hint!!!

AFAIK, the first NIC of an x366 can act in dual-mode: as IPMI device,
with its own IP address, and as a normal NIC in Linux, with it own address.
Both have their own MAC address.

When you share the first NIC for IPMI and "normal" use, you need to
use the same switch. If possible, I'd choose to use this NIC
exclusively for IPMI, connected to a dedicated switch for.
In RHCS, just configure that card as "IPMI Lan", with its IP address,
user and password (all changeable from the x366 BIOS) and "password"
as authentication type.
