Yea, unfortunately the scenario I'm trying to handle is a bit different. My iDrac is on a public facing network unfortunately without much of a choice so I have ssh disabled remote ipmi disabled and only allow access to a few ips. I do this for security hardening. The problem becomes that those Ips can change and I'll be locked out of iDrac when they do. I have access to local ipmi via the os but I cant disable the IP filtering via ipmi because I dont know the raw command to do it (if there is one). That leaves one option for me which is connect via serial :(. Really looking for some suggestions on this.
