ASA 8.4(1) and CUCM 8.5(1) phone proxy slow dialing ?

[Erick Bergquist]

Hi,

Recently upgraded call manager from version 6.x to 8.5.1 and phone proxy worked fine before but on new version, the phones work but dialing is delayed and entering voice mail passwords is delayed. So seems signally related items are delayed, the rtp audio stream is fine however once call is established.

Here is some info and snippets from the config, anyone seen this?

ASA version 8.4(1)

CUCM version  8.5.1.10000-26
7941 phones - firmware SCCP41.9-1-1SR1S

172.16.1.20 - cucm pub
172.16.1.21 - cucm sub

tftp running on both servers

12.x.x.108 - PUBLIC IP NAT for CUCM PUB
12.x.x.12 -- ASA outside IP

object network obj-172.16.1.20
nat (INSIDE,OUTSIDE) static 12.x.x.108

Greetings,

Currently, ASA phone Proxy feature is not supported with CUCM 8.5. I guess that on this scenario your option would be to use the Phone VPN feature on the ASA.
