Why would I run IPMI on a public network? If work needs done remotely, that's what VPNs, etc. are for. Not only that, they shouldn't even be accessible to any user (or even super user) on any computer (desktop, server, phone, etc.) that doesn't have direct access to the IPMI network. There's a damn good reason why IPMI usually runs on it's own nic. To me, it's the holy grail of hacking targets so of course it's either locked down tight by dividing it into it's own network with strictly guarded access or it's disabled. There should never be any in-between.
