Hi there,

I have an Intel S1400 board with 2 on-board NICs from which I can access the Intel BMC when I use these 2 ports for uplink in ESXi.

This system also has an Intel I350 addon-on PCIe NIC card with 4x1GB ports.

When I use the addon card with the 4x1GB ports for uplink in ESXi I cannot access the Intel BMC IP when connected through these ports.

Is there some way I can use the 4x1GB addon nics as uplink and have access to the Intel BMC? (Rather than having to use the on-board nics)

Possibly some vswith or networking configuration in esxi to achieve this?

Thanks!
