CME Over the Internet

ahochau_2
Level 1
Level 1

I have a need to allow remote SIP devices access to the enterprise Communications Manger.  The thought was to have the devices register to CME in a DMZ and then do a SIP trunk from CME to the CUCM cluster.

Rules of engagement:

  1) Remote devices will be on consumer class internet connections

  2) No remote VPN devices allowed

  3) Must be secure

  4) buying traversal licenses for the VCS is not in the budget

I have put the CME in a DMZ and configured 1 to 1 NAT.  ACLs have allowed traffic to and from CUCM and CME.  If I put my client directly on the internet I can register and make calls anywhere in the world I would like.  If I put the client behind NAT, the client can register but is not able to make calls.  If I put the client behind a firewall I am not able to register with CME at all.  Any suggestions on how to achieve the goal?

Interesting concept, RTP across Internet and behind a number of firewalls, typically a recipe for disaster. So you have multiple issues. Let me start with your client "behind NAT"  I think the problem with voice being establish is the negotiation of the RTP end point IP address. are these phones using SIP to register on CME?  can you add some debug info to the post (debug ccsip) 

 

also, did you configure sip inspect on your firewall? (or something similar if it is not Cisco ASA)?

 

thanks

Well, I made some progress.  Since I am using +E.164 to call the world, at one point in testing I had set the "put this on beginning of dial string" option.  Once I removed that I was able to get one client with a public IP registered and a second client with a private IP to register.  I also had fits with my firewall, I was able to get those resolved by changing my ACLs (implicit deny any any at the bottom got me again). Since I have a cisco firewall my options were many.  So everything in the diagram attached above is working as I want it too relating to call flow and capabilities.  Yay!

Yes, the is only SIP, I'll see what I can do to add some of the debugs, will have to scrub heavily.

New problems to overcome:

  1) It appears I can only have one device behind the firewall.  Will need to keep playing with this one, may not be a show stopper.

  2) If I move either of the devices outside of my firewall where my ISP just does nat, I have no audio. 

My concern at this point is if I can make it work with whatever device "Bob's Bait and Internet" is providing to end users.  I'm afraid of providers using NAT somewhere downstream from the device.

There are two other options you can explore depending on if the end points are Cisco:

1) Cisco Phone VPN - Using ASA anyconnect

2) CUBE - Remote Phone Proxy session

Neither the firewall nor the endpoints are Cisco.  We looked at doing the CUBE proxy and all the configuration examples we saw said "do not use this for production"  May have been for an earlier release and worth taking a second look at.  

Everything I am seeing now lists Cisco phones as being supported.  Do you know if the CUBE Phone Proxy works with third party SIP devices?

 

Thanks!

As I have referenced above - Though it says SIP based end points - I think it should,  since the phone registers to CUCM and for non-cisco SIP phones you should be register as third party SIP phone in CUCM - but not 100% if it will support non-Cisco phones, may need to reach out to Cisco to confirm.

Refer here for config guide:

Right now only have a 2800 to work with, so working on getting a 2900 or better so we can deploy a version of IOS that supports the feature for testing.  The document states 

For an IP phone to register on a CUCM through CUBE, CUBE must be configured to do the following requirements.

  • TCP must be used for registration.
  • The MAC address of the device (device ID) and the device name, present in the CONTACT header of the REGISTER message, need to be copied to the outgoing messages and passed to the CUCM intact.

So I am not having warm and fuzzy feelings about non-Cisco devices since the third party devices use the sip digest user and not the mac address for registration.  Anyway, step one is get a hold of a device capable of running the required software. Thanks for the suggestion!

Doh!

Other issue is caller ID only showing the DN.  Purely cosmetic, but people will be upset.

Need to get it to 15.1 as well.
