NAME

6       ipmi_port  -  a  daemon  to  bind RMCP port 623 to prevent portmap from
7       using it

SYNOPSIS

11       ipmi_port [-bx]
12

DESCRIPTION

15       This ipmi_port service starts and binds port 623, then sleeps  forever,
16       so  that  the  portmap service will not try to reuse port 623, which it
17       otherwise might try to do.  Since the  IPMI  firmware  snoops  the  NIC
18       channel  and grabs any traffic destined for RMCP port 623, any applica‐
19       tion in the OS which tried to use port 623 would fail.
