NAMErmcpping − send RMCP Ping to network hosts

SYNOPSISrmcpping [OPTION...] destination

DESCRIPTIONrmcpping uses the RMCP Ping request datagram to elicit an RMCP Pong response from a remote host. The utility can be used to verify if a remote host supports RMCP or IPMI. The initial starting sequence number will be randomized. rmcpping will return 0 to the environment if it receives atleast 1 response from the remote host. Otherwise, it exits with a value of 1.

OPTIONSThe following options are available −h  Output help menu. −V  Output version. −c count  Stop after sending count packets. −i interval  Wait interval seconds between sending each packet. The default is to wait for one second between each packet. −I interface address  Set source address to specified interface address. Argument may be numeric IP address or name of device. −t timeout  Time to wait for a response, in seconds. Default is five seconds. −v  Verbose output. −s num  Specify an initial starting sequence number. The default is to use a random initial sequence number. −d  Turn on debugging.

KNOWN ISSUESIt has been observed that some remote BMCs can get "confused" and delay packet responses if duplicate packets (with duplicate sequence numbers) are sent in succession very quickly. There is no known way to cleanly deal with a "confused" BMC other than the wait awhile. Unlike ping(8), local network devicess (e.g. 127.0.0.1) cannot be "pinged".
