If you are running a new version of PIX sw (6.3.4 or 6.3.5), then leave fixup on and set "nat=no". The PIX is the only firewall that I have seen that truly does nat correctly. It nat's both the source and dest inside the packet. You can even do reinvite with multiple phones behind a PIX and it works correctly. One other thing to check. If you have qualify off, then you need to set the phone to re-register in less time that the SIP timeout value in the PIX. For example, if the timeout is 10 mins, then the phone needs to have a register value less than 10 mins.

Hi

I use a PIX 515 and had a similar problem when I started.
I turned on the fixup for SIP (as well as having nat in sip entry) and it seems to do the trick for me.

Good Luck

Also the phone can dial out from behind the PIX…but obviously not receive calls.

*Subject:* [asterisk-users] Cisco PIX firewall and nat=yes

I have a Polycom 501 that works great from behind simple firewalls, like Dlink, etc however behind a Cisco PIX Firewall I see the register messages for the extensions on the Asterisk CLI but when I do a sip show peers I see:

702/702                    x.x.x.x     D   N      54297    UNREACHABLE

701/701                    x.x.x.x     D   N      54297    UNREACHABLE

700/700                    x.x.x.x     D   N      54297    UNREACHABLE

But I see stuff like

n       Registered SIP '702' at x.x.x.x port 54297 expires 60

I have a single phone with multiple extensions in the example above. As a test I changed that phone to a single extension (700), I see the Registered line but it still says UNREACHABLE.

I know the Asterisk config is good because every device (soft, hard phone) works and I know the NAT works because I’ve tested that out.

So…I’m thinking it has something to do with the PIX.  Any ideas?

Bill
