Hello,

Pages 31 and 32 of the manual above contain all the port information relevant to the iDRAC.

i guess you mean fire wall router and not the severs OS firewall. (both matter)

first you need to go into the unstated router (vast types exist) and assign  fixed (reserv) IP addess for it.

on your SUBLAN

Do not let DHCP assign its address.

then you need to punch a hole in the router firewall , for fixed IP and routing, traffic from web IPs to your subnet IP and port now fixed, and even can have different ports from outside,

like this local=IPport:nnnn to  outside, incoming ,new port number

Lacking DDNS names (or owned webdomain services +DDNS) you get to use raw web IP address to your home. ok?  (can be hard)

in fact I just was in S.america for 30 days and raw IPs worked from there to my home in  Texas. 3000 miles distant to my NVR.(web cam servers)

I uses port :8xxx and no ISP blockages to my custom port, (5 digits is best here) or ports. xxx is my secret

Some countries or localities block raw IPs, or  flags them as DARK WEB, so only testing works. see end below.

now the new port must be tested first, to make sure the ISP does not block it.

what they block is a secret and is regional,, (port 80 is hopless and 8080 sure toss coin) id not use either.

they may bock, ssl 443 for all i know to your home, is it a home? unstated.

end:

testing 1,2,3,:

what I do is 2 tests. to start, not make drac work. (web to subnet)

1: have this old PC called PIG , i install TINY.exe on it ( a very tiny web server) runs on any windows box even w10 (and web page with one word,  BINGO and my name)

then from outside home i ping it and run web testing site , called IP tests. full, see if the port is open first.

You can also run full port scans to your home Ip (and for sure type in google what is my IP)

 

if yes,

i then try my browser from outside home (or cell phone with home 3/4/5G/ service not home wifi ever)

and see if tiny works. omg it does....

if yes, you now have a open port you found and can use, for DRAC.

is this easy, sure, and tedious for sure.

 

also in my nice CISCO router I can even map SSL ports to any thing I want inside.

hope some of this helps, been running home camera's from 2009.
