[Ipmitool-devel] no matching cipher suite

[VJ]

Hi
What does 'no matching cipher suite' mean ?

Does this mean that the client ipmitool does not support that cipher or
does the BMC does not support it ?

On the host/interacting directly with the BMC:
Iam able to confirm that Iam able to set cipher 3 and 8 :

RMCP+ Cipher Suites : 1,2,3,6,7,8,11,12,15
Cipher Suite Priv Max : XXaXXaXXXXXXXXX


But When I try it from network/lanplus even with '-C 3'

How do I set cipher 3 or 8 and use it from lanplus ?

Thanks.
