That port is dedicated to the IPMI controller; you can't use it in your OS. Some boards have shared ports.

The BMC offering IPMI is a Linux computer bonding its dedicated interface and the first mainboard interface, using the mainboard interface as failover. You should generally configure it to only use the dedicated interface on a firewall.
And no, you can't use it for CARP.
