[Serusers] Problem running SER behind firewall

Wei Wang wwang at m1global.com
Wed May 16 16:15:58 CEST 2007


Changed the cfg file to do record_route_preset to avoid private address
being added to the Record-Route header. Now the Record-Route header
contains public address. But the problem remains.

I am quite new to SIP. I don't understand why SER sent the last ACK
received from UA1 to the firewall public address instead of UA2's public
IP. But INVITE went through fine.

Thanks,
Wei

You have to use your public ip by using record_route_preset also for
non-NATed. 
As you can see, the Record-Route header contains your private address.

Greger,

Thanks for the help. I've added advertised_address to the ser.cfg file. 

...
listen=192.168.4.217
port=5060
advertised_address=66.134.1.34
advertised_port=5060
....

But it did not seem to help. 

Here is the TCP traffic:

Again, the last ACT was sent to the firewall's external IP
address(66.134.1.34).

You need to use advertised_address and advertised_port just below listen

directive.

I have a problem running SER behind firewall. 
Here is the network diagram:

|UA1|--|FW1|   +--|FW|--|SER| 
         \    /               
          +--+                
         /    \               
|UA2|--|FW2|   +--|MediaProxy|

Where, UA1 and UA2 are Xlite soft-phones behind their own firewalls.
    
SER
  
is listening on private IP address 192.168.4.217. FW has public IP
address 66.134.1.34 and forwards port 5060 to SER.

The ser.cfg file is pretty much copied from SER getting start guide. 
When UA1 calling UA2, the call established fine but UA1 will hang up
    
by
  
itself after ~30 seconds. The captured IP packages on SER revealed
    
that
  
the last ACK received from UA2 by SER was sent to FW IP address. Since
port 5060 is forwarded to SER on the FW, it caused a looping
    
situation.
  
The ser.cfg is listed at the end.

Thanks in advance.
