Hi !!!
I have a BMC configured with a local IP adress (192.168.X.X) listening
on default port (623).
I want to access it from the outside world. For that I have set a port
forwarding rules on the router to the port 623 of this local IP.
every ipmitool commands works well BUT not SOL.

Hi Hank,
Thanks for you reply, but I'm still not sure we speak about the same
thing :/
I also have discovered in ipmi_sol.c / ipmitool :
(...)
/* NOTE: the spec does allow for SOL traffic to be sent on
* a different port. we do not yet support that feature. */
if (intf->session-
The RMCP server can use any UDP port it wants to for a SOL session. Some
implementations use port 623. If you have more than two SOL sessions open
on a single RMCP server at least one will be on a port other than 623. Each
of the SOL sessions may be encrypted differently using separate cipher
suite
I think this is what Hank is talking about. SOL connects at port 623,
but it may communicate over a different port later in the session.
However, ipmitool doesn't support communication over any port other than
623. So if SOL works for you w/o port forwarding, then this isn't your
issue.

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 (
Martin,
Have you established that SOL works locally (without the port forwarding)?
This would rule out a firmware bug or firmware configuration issue.
