  • When trying to access the BMC via SSH , getting timeout error

  • And the PING test also fails with timeout error

C:\Users\admin>ping 10.xxx.xx.xx

Pinging 10.xxx.xx.xx with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.

  • However the node-management IP hosted on e0M is accessible via SSH which also is in the same subnet as of SP
  • Swapping the cable connectivity between BMC port and e0M port on AFF-C800 results in e0M not being accessible and BMC becoming accessible
