https://www.supermicro.com/products/nfo/IPMI.cfm IPMI / BMC != ME. Intel’s is basically the version of this that you can’t disable, that works through the same PHY (most BMCs have their own), that you’re not allowed to use. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Management_Engine

I know that the BMC isn't the same as the ME, but in his case that's the BMC getting an IP and default web login for admin/admin. It's not the ME.

BMC doesn't always use a dedicated physical port, and it's commonly bridged in sideband to the other NICs on a server.
