I'm lost.
Let me formulate what I understand:
ipmitool is a tool to connect to any (most?) baseboard management
controller, to get/set system settings.
ipmitool with default settings connects on port 623/UDP
This was the easiest part :D And to this point all is going well WITH or
without PNAT (I can use "chassis" commands etc)
now SOL. Something different is happening when ipmitool ask a SOL
session. (thru lanplus interface)
Do I have to understand that ipmitool "sol" arg simply doesn't take the
given command line "-p <port>" arg into account ?
I tried to read IPMI specification but I have to say this is a little
complex to eat it like this, at least for me :)
If someone can briefly explain me what's happen when asking a SOL
session thru IPMI (what is "this" trying to connect to "that", on which
(random) port)
Maybe I could find a workaround then (other than SOLProxy ^^ ) to get to
my BMC interface / console redirection from the internet
Thanks again !!
