Thanks Matthew – we’re on v11.5, so I’ll try to drum up the similar chapter.

I’m not sure we’ve got URL based firewall rules implemented or available. I 
will have to ask.

Good to hear you’ve not had problems with outbound access.

As far as smart licensing is concerned, we were ok using the proxy there, since 
it would be ok if it went down. If we open up complete access though, the need 
for that goes away.

For what servers your servers will need to talk to, if you can do URL based 
firewall rules that would work.

If not the servers are all Cisco’s and in the Webex cloud so the IP blocks 
aren’t that many: https://collaborationhelp.cisco.com/article/en-us/WBX264
Now I’m not 100% certain if ALL webex services fall within those IPs. That 
article is designed for Teams and Meetings.

I will add I’ve never operated in an environment as tight/regulated as yours, 
but I have 23 clusters that have been able to talk outbound to internet since 
their beginnings and never had an issue that had to do with that.

Also you are going to have to think about this internet thing again when you go 
to 12.x+ and smart licensing so you may want to look up those requirements as 
well. A few more options exist there where going offline intermittently isn’t 
as much of a deal.

Subject: [cisco-voip] setting up access for APNS - granular vs wide open 
internet access


Another issue we are facing is setting up the collaboration servers (CUCM, IMP) 
to talk out of our private network to the internet to talk to Cisco and Apple 
servers.

Just wondering what others have been doing.

Our networking team has suggested the simplest way would be to add a PAT rule 
at our edge for the servers (or network) so that they can communicate out to 
the internet as required. There would be no ACLs applied, so they could talk to 
anywhere. By applying the PAT on the edge, all internal communications would 
continue with the internal addressing. The PAT would only allow established 
communications – no outside-to-inside initiated talk allowed.

The other alternative would be to put a bunch of xlate’s on our data centre 
firewall, one for each source collab server and cisco/apple dest pair – this 
could be 10s of statements.

The first means I have no control over who the servers can talk to on the 
internet. Which scares me.

The second would mean quite a bit of extra upfront work, and managing those 
statements if/when Cisco and apple update their ip addresses.

There is the proxy option, but the current proxy service we have is likely not 
to be considered mission critical and attaching the APNS configuration to this 
likely wouldn’t go over well.

What have others done in this situation?

Thanks!
