Configuring an XG for VoIP

I need to prepare a XG106 (SFOS 17.5.6 MR-6) for VoIP: 3 internal SIP clients (on a local LAN 192.168.1.0/24) will connect with an external cloud PBX server (185.19.236/22)

The VoIP provider has requested to make the following changes to the firewall:

  1. disable Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI)

    I suppose I do that with “set advanced-firewall bypass-stateful-firewall-config add source_network 192.168.1.0 source_netmask 255.255.255.0 dest_network 185.19.236.0 dest_netmask 255.255.252.0
    Should I add the complete LAN range or is it better to add only the 3 SIP client IP addresses?

  2. disable SIP Application Layer Gateway (SIP ALG)

    Do I do this by unloading the SIP system module?

  3. disable Strict Security

    Do they mean Strict Policy as in “set advanced-firewall strict-policy off”?
    Is that a good idea?

I'm a novice on VoIP so all thoughts and advice are most welcome!

Thanks

Erik

  • Hi,

    doe three VoIP phones you shouldn't need to do any of that. You should be able to use a firewall rule that points at your ISP's PABX and sourced from your three VoIP phones using port 5060.

    I have two VoIP phones at home that use different extra port ranges, but they are all handled by setup connection of the pghones. You might like to add a VoIP application and set the priority of the traffic in the MASQ settings on the firewall rule.
