PIX 515E vlan connection to Dell server.

Hello folks, I have a PIX-515E that I'm trying to configure for what I thought would be a simple task. I've been playing with VMWare ESXi on a Dell PowerEdge 1850 in a lab environment. The server's IPMI is bound to one of its two physical interfaces, which I've connected to Ethernet 1 on the firewall. The interface has the following configuration:

PIX Version 7.2(4)
!
interface Ethernet1
nameif FrontEnd
security-level 40
no ip address
!
interface Ethernet1.2
vlan 2
nameif IPMI
security-level 90
ip address 172.16.0.161 255.255.255.224

The server's baseboard manager has been configured to tag its traffic on VLAN 2, priority left at 0 (default), and its IP address appears in the firewall's ARP cache; however, here's what I get for a ping response:

Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 172.16.0.164, timeout is 2 seconds:
?????
Success rate is 0 percent (0/5)

Any ideas?

False alarm. Sorry about that!

The IPMI channel and vlan interface are working as expected; apparently you can't ping the module. I need to step away from the studies.
