NAT and Firewall Traversal Recommendation. Hi @BrandonS , I have not implemented a voice VLAN on the network. I assume they are on the same LAN but for some reason I don't see them in the Meraki Dashboard.
If nothing is set, please have the admin enter this general setting or a custom one depending on their preference.
Generally, for SIP trunks you just need to 1:1 nat or port forward all the ports specified by your provider to your PBX. Will the communication work if I configure the LAN2 IP address with the one the carrier is requesting even tough from a network configuration point of view the setting that will be on LAN2 is not going to work? Thank you.
Can't find what you're looking for?
In few situations this is useful, but in most situations SIP ALG … Thanks for the link, I glanced at it and it looks very informative, I will keep it in mind as a future reference.
I will test and update after morning.

This will commonly be levied by a DHCP server, where leases to VoIP endpoints will include voice-specific DHCP options. If a stateful firewall like the MX is passing traffic between the two peers, ensure there are appropriate mechanisms in place to allow inbound communication (1:1 NAT, port forwarding, etc). The phones are registered with the VOIP service provider. You won’t be able to split the traffic like that. Can be specified to ignore any limits specified for the whole network; to obey the specified limits; or to apply more restrictive limits than the network limits.
Since Cisco Meraki equipment is designed with network standards in mind, VoIP deployments can typically be run alongside the network stack with no issues: Generally speaking, it is best to stick to the following best practices when deploying a VoIP system on any network: If using an external voice provider, a number of requirements/questions may be presented about the network. We replaced a very old Juniper firewall with a new Meraki MX67 firewall, when we repalced the firewall we did not know we were going to have issues particularly with the SIP trunks, we were expecting a simple equipment replacement but apparently this particular SIP trunk carrier requires ALG and it seems Meraki does not support ALG functionality. We want to set up the Meraki to use a primary ISP, with a secondary ISP set as a failover (no load balancing). I created a wireless SSID specifically for these devices. QoS. Depending on the PBX involved, there are several ways to establish communication without requiring ALG, please refer to your PBX documentation for options to deal with NAT. https://jive.com/resources/support_page/onboarding/network-readiness-2/quality-service-qos/. If port shuffling or duplicate ports are occurring, verify that there is only one appliance on the network passing DHCP and NAT. Voice over IP (VoIP) is a common technology used in enterprise networks, allowing users on a network to make internal and outbound phone calls over the network. I was told from the phone vendor to configure the following, my questions and remarks are in bold: I was also told that I need to configure the following: What would be the best way to accomplish this task? If you are experiencing dropped calls and audio loss, check to make sure that the ISP Modem/Gateway is fully bridged, set to passthrough mode or DMZ set to the router. Please refer to this guide for a breakdown of different call quality symptoms. I would like some other suggestions or ways on how to fix the issue as we are stuck right now and it seems the issue is within our network.

Then we talked with your ISP and they said SIP ALG is disabled. You should not need to do any of that. SIP ALG is something you *don't* want in a firewall or router. The SIP traffic is not leaving the WAN port, on the LAN capture I can see the phones trying to register, but they do not seem to have success. Thank you for providing the update from the VoIP provider. Do you know what method the phones are using to stay registered with the PBX? This carrier is a local carrier, their corporate office is just a few blocks away from our office but they really do not like to do SIP that much, this customer had SIP and they kind of had to do it in order to close the fiber optic sale. Thank you for helping keep Tek-Tips Forums free from inappropriate posts.The Tek-Tips staff will check this out and take appropriate action. We like Meraki, it has made our deployments much easier to mange and troubleshoot, we also understand that it is expensive but we expect good quality, service and reliability from premium equipment.
Currently we don't have any rules on NAT. On the last section Traffic shaping rules, verify there is a rule set for all VoIP and video conferencing. Reasons such as off-topic, duplicates, flames, illegal, vulgar, or students posting their homework.
SIP ALG (Application Layer Gateway) is a feature which is enabled by default in most Cisco routers running Cisco IOS software and inspects VoIP traffic as it passes through and modifies the messages on-the-fly. Thank you so much and I will update once the morning passes. I think you can safely forget about any firewall and QoS configurations though. Does the Wireless firewall allow local LAN traffic? Please let us know here why this post is inappropriate. Network Address Translation connections must be allowed keepalive requests to devices every 30 seconds. Glad my suggestions helped.
SIP ALG modifies SIP packets in unexpected ways, corrupting them and making them unreadable.
Perhaps we need to break the problem down further. *Tek-Tips's functionality depends on members receiving e-mail. The Meraki MX65 out of the box does not need any configuration for 8x8 IP phones to work.

The rule action is enforced on all traffic that matches the specifications you select. Consider that voice communication typically happens as two simultaneous UDP streams, one for each direction of communication.
