Mmmm, and an ip has never been spoofed and no arp poisoned. And I
wonder how good these filters are in their TCP stack implementation -
not something I'd trust :)

We just reported a bug to Dell regarding their last 2 generations of remote access controllers where the firewall rules only apply to TCP and not to ICMP or UDP. Their first response was to replace the motherboard. Second response was that this is just how they work. Not looking good. We run our IPMI interfaces behind stateless ACLs, accessible from VPN or trusted ranges.
