We are doing NAT from 192.168

Rodrigo Marchina Soares · ‎01-02-2016

Hi guys,

I am having a problem deploying a new SIP trunk to a customer.

The scenery is the following:

PSTN———>GW (CUBE)————>CUCM——-------------->IP PHONE

PSTN = Internet link with SIP trunk

GW (CUBE) = Cisco 2901 router

CUCM = CallManager 8.6

IP Phone = Cisco IP Phone

PS: There is a SonicWall firewall between the PSTN and GW

The problem is: When a call is established from outside to inside, only the outside guy listen the inside guy.

Audio = Outside (PSTN) ---------------> Inside (Customer) = Not OK. The customer can't hear me.

Audio = Outside (PSTN) <--------------- Inside (Customer) = OK. I can hear the customer from outside.

PS: For security reasons, I am hiding the SIP public address:

SIP address: 88.x.x.9 and 88.x.x.10

Signalling:UDP port 5060 egress/ingress to:- 88.x.x.9

Media: All UDP ports between 6000 - 40000 egress/ingress to:- 88.x.x.10

Cisco Router GW 2901 Ip address is 192.168.4.40

CUCM are 192.168.4.32 and 37 (PUB and SUB)

Graham Old · ‎01-02-2016

I would be looking at the setup for the Sonicwall Firewall. It looks like it may not be handling the SIP protocol correctly.

In your first INVITE from the ITSP you have this

INVITE sip:0yyyyyy4322@195.x.x.1;user=phone SIP/2.0

I would have expected the Sonicwall to have converted the 195.x.x.1 IP address to the CUBE on 192.168.4.40

When you send the ACK to the ITSP you are defining the IP audio address as
c=IN IP4 192.168.4.40

You need the Sonicwall to convert that to the 195.x.x.1 address, If its failing to convert the INVITE its probably not converting the Audio IP address on the output.

Can you do a wireshark between the Sonicwall and the PSTN and check the Sonicwall is converting the IP addresses correctly

Graham

Rodrigo Marchina Soares · ‎01-02-2016

We are doing NAT from 192.168.4.40 to 195.x.x.1 (Public IP Address).

We can ping from 192.168.4.40 to 88.x.x.9.

The NAT is done after the Sonic Wall, in the ISP router.

I will return on 5th january at the customer and I will collect wireshark files.

Graham Old · ‎01-05-2016

You can't do a simple NAT to convert the IP address on SIP. You must have a SIP helper process that converts the IP address in the SIP protocol as well.

Why do you need to do NAT. Can you not assign the 195.x.x.1 address to the second NIC on the CUBE and make it do all the work. That is what CUBE's are for. To be the border element, to convert IP address and to provide security.

You need to setup a few extra things for security. I would suggest an access list on the second NIC to limit the IP address to Gamma's two IP address and the UDP port numbers. You should also make the IP routing to Gamma's IP address pretty tight.

I would suggest a few other things if you are able to connect the CUBE direct.

Rodrigo,

I'm not sure if you were able to resolve your problem, however I figured I would give you my two cents. Graham has pretty much giving you some good suggestions.. I had a similar issue with Sonicwall, but mine was more of an issue with Expressway behind a Sonicwall. The jabber clients had one-way audio. I must have changed every possible SIP ALG setting in the sonic wall to correct my issue with NAT. I was unable to find the right combination to make it successfully work. Note, I was able to get this same setup to work fine behind an ASA without issue. However, again "SIP INSPECTION" had to be turned on with the ASA for it to work.

Now considering my issue was with Expressway, i was able to convince the customer to move the Expressway-E outside of the Sonicwall. This ultimately solved my problem for this particular customer.

The suggestion that Graham has mentioned with using a second interface and directly attaching the CUBE is a solution that we know will work without issue. Just be sure to enable/configure the IOS firewall rules on the cube as well as lock it down to avoid any SIP Toll-Fraud attempts.

thanks,

Ayodeji Okanlawon · ‎01-02-2016

The reason why you are not getting ACK back from ITSP is that ACK is sent to the host filed in the contact header.

The address in the contact header here looks like its not reachable from your ITSP as it is a private address. Please correct this and your issue should be resolved

We are doing NAT from 192.168.4.40 to 195.x.x.1 (Public IP Address).

We can ping from 192.168.4.40 to 88.x.x.9.

Your Nat isn't working correctly. The 200 OK contains the private ip add in the contact header. This is one of the issues with Nat. You need a device that can do SIP ALG.

As long as your contact header contains the private ip, your ITSP can't send ACK to the 200 OK

I understood what you mean.

The NAT is translating the ip header but not the SIP header.

I will check that on Tuesday.

Hi Ayodeji,

I will try to modify the SIP header with the configuration below on Tuesday. What do you think?

=====

voice class sip-profiles 10

request INVITE sip-header From modify "<sip:(.*)@195.x.x.1>” "<sip:\1@192.168.4.40>”

request ACK sip-header From modify "<sip:(.*)@195.x.x.1>” "<sip:\1@192.168.4.40>”

dial-peer voice 31 voip => (incoming SIP Calls)

voice-class sip profiles 10

=====

voice class sip-profiles 20

request INVITE sip-header From modify "<sip:(.*)@192.168.4.40>” "<sip:\1@195.x.x.1>”

request ACK sip-header From modify "<sip:(.*)@192.168.4.40>” "<sip:\1@195.x.x.1>”

dial-peer 32/33 voip => (outgoing SIP calls)

voice-class sip profiles 20

======

I haven't solved the problem yet.

Any idea to do the SIP ALG?

The ITSP is not sending the ACK to the 200 OK and it is not sending media from (88.x.x.10) to CUBE.

Only the CUBE is sending media to 88.x.x.10, that is the reason that only me can hear the customer.
