[cisco-voip] Video firewall traversal with Checkpoint firewalls and IPS

2014-04-22 Thread Dana Tong
Good morning all,

I have a VCS Control / Expressway combination setup with the appropriate 
traversal zone, and search rules for a client of mine who has a Checkpoint 
firewall and IPS function. I have provided them with the firewall port usage 
guide for Cisco VCS Control with Expressway.

I have enabled a packet capture on a VCS Expressway that I have here in our 
office and made a test call to a CODEC here.

I see the following:

Receive SIP INVITE from remote party
Send 100 TRYING
Send 180 RINGING
Send 200 OK with SDP (a number of times).
SDP looks correct.
No response from the remote CODEC.
Receive CANCEL

Now, I don't think all the of the f/w rules are quite yet provisioned and 
enabled. I am trying to establish a remote session with the customer to perform 
another packet capture on their Expressway to see if they receive my 200 OK and 
if it sends an ack.

But at the moment the person who maintains the firewall has been away but will 
be back this week. Would you agree that we have an issue with the firewall 
(based on the limited information I have provided)?

And is there anything special that needs to be done on a Checkpoint firewall 
for Video Traversal?

Cheers
Dana

There's definitely potential for a firewall issue.  Firewalls with SIP ALGs
built in drop 200 OKs with codecs/SDP lines they don't like all the time.
 I'd make sure any SIP inspection/SIP ALG functionality is disabled on the
Checkpoint firewall.
