For fuck's sake, @Dell. I have 15 servers with iDRAC basic in a cluster. *13* have crashed BMCs have in some way (web dead, IPMI dead, or both). Two of those are so screwed I have no way to reset them without physically going to the datacenter. What the fuck.

The switches I had were only managed via web. After 100 days of uptime, that web server crashed. As a bonus, it didn't only crash the web server but also stopped accepting new connections. Existing ones were fine, but plug in a new cable and it is dead. Fun times.

I've had HP 1810-48G switch at a client crash in a similar way: existing connections worked, but only at whatever speed they were when the switch crashed (which usually meant 10Mb half, because it happened overnight, with most PCs off). That was fun to figure out.

it's a nightmare with other vendors too, I had 15-20 servers from Lenovo aging from ancient IMM1 IBMs to 2018 issue IMM2 servers with all the updates. All of them eventually crash the IMM. Vendor reply: update the firmware, if it doesn't help, replace the mobo.

I run my iDracs in isolated physical VLAN because I'm afraid just broadcast network packets from normal network traffic would crash them, also because they're more insecure than Windows XP before blaster
