oh god, i have a colo server that isn't with you guys
the service provider just put my ipmi interface on a public network with a public ip :(
so... thanks for not doing stuff like that :P
qbit: whats the subnet mask
are a lot of other hosts in the same broadcast domain also?
Haven't looked
Gonna cancel my service with them pretty asap
if you wireshark the interface you might get a lot of ARP type traffic
They aren't responding to my removal request
tcpdump even
Would it show other ipmi type traffic?
I didn't even check if it was in my up range or a diff block
qbit: Probably not since IPMI traffic is unicast. Unless you're on a 10/100 hub...
Could very well be :P
I don't trust them at all now
so my subnet is 255.255.255.248
this ip is def not in that subnet
so i am guessing they have a subnet of exposed ipmi interfaces
2/bu12
aw
qbit: it's actually pretty normal
not saying it's a good idea, just not an uncommon idea.
mercutio: might be normal, but for sure it isn't acceptable without asking me in the first place
yeah it's not a smart idea
i really wish it could be a smart idea :)
but the security on those things is way too bad
also they can crash
