The two bce's are built-in w/ the board and are hooked up with a different controller. In-band mechanism is used for the baseboard management system. Is there any connection with SMM? Thanks. ----- Original Message ---- From: John Baldwin On Monday 26 January 2009 4:32:51 am Won De Erick wrote: > Is there any significant of the following? > > #dmesg > ..... > bce1: link state changed to DOWN > bce1: link state changed to UP > > .... > Can this result into the significant log on SEL? Is bce1 hooked up to the BMC in hardware (i.e. you can use it for remote IPMI?) In that case it might very well result in the logs you are seeing. -- John Baldwin
