Disclaimer: yes, i know many, if not most, set a static IP. this has become kind of a curiosity now.
it's not directly realted to truenas, but I know many in these forums use the supermicro boards, so I figured maybe somebody happens to have the answer.
I wanted to do some rearranging in my network and wanted to set everything from pfsense until i get it all where I want it, but IPMI will not use the static DHCP address it's assigned to from pfsense.
ever.
it will keep the manual static IP, even when set to DHCP, with the MAC address set on pfsense to a different IP. everything I understand says it should just pick the new address, but it wont. I can set the new address static, which completely works, but if i set it back to DHCP, it will go back to the old address, which isn't set anywhere, and isn't in the DHCP automatic scope.
does anyone know why? or how I can find out why?
it's not exactly broken, but it was very annoying until I figured out that all my IPMI's were using their old addresses *forever*.
