Hi there,

I've just configured an Asterisk PBX with some SIP-Phones connected to it on the LAN and an ISDN link. So far everything is working fine. But now I've tried to connect the PBX to an external SIP provider (sipgate.de in this case) through my VPN-1 NGX R61. I configured static NAT for the Asterisk machine, but the SIP registrations fails all the time. I observed some strange behavior in the NAT. The SIP registration packet (source port 5060, destination port 5060) reaches the firewall, changes the source port at the interior interface and to another high port at the exterior interface. But the answer packet will not be translated correctly. This is what I see in fw monitor (n.n.n.n is my external IP address, 217.10.79.9 is the sipgate proxy):

eth1.10:i[502]: 172.17.1.167 -> 217.10.79.9 (UDP) len=502 id=0
UDP: 5060 -> 5060
eth1.10:I[502]: 172.17.1.167 -> 217.10.79.9 (UDP) len=502 id=0
UDP: 17973 -> 5060
eth0:o[502]: 172.17.1.167 -> 217.10.79.9 (UDP) len=502 id=0
UDP: 17973 -> 5060
eth0:O[510]: n.n.n.n -> 217.10.79.9 (UDP) len=510 id=0
UDP: 40625 -> 5060

eth0:i[404]: 217.10.79.9 -> n.n.n.n (UDP) len=404 id=5495
UDP: 5060 -> 40625
eth0:I[398]: 217.10.79.9 -> 172.17.1.167 (UDP) len=398 id=5495
UDP: 5060 -> 17973
eth1.10:o[398]: 217.10.79.9 -> 172.17.1.167 (UDP) len=398 id=5495
UDP: 5060 -> 17973
eth1.10:O[398]: 217.10.79.9 -> 172.17.1.167 (UDP) len=398 id=5495
UDP: 5060 -> 17973

So you can see, the answer packet does not get translated back to destination port 5060 and will not be accepted by the Asterisk machine (it answers with an ICMP port unreachable...)

Has anyone a hint for me? There are no SmartDefense settings for SIP and I tried to configure a VoIP Domain SIP Proxy rule with no success.

Thanks
Markus
