TCP connection resets on PIX 501
am 12.10.2006 22:33:01 von CrumbHi,
I have to start by saying sorry for asking for help as I am not a Cisco
guy and have no Cisco knowledge
A work for a company that is using A VoIP application across two sites
connected via Cisco PIX 501
For the most of the time every thing is working fine but from time to
time we get one way transmission on the handsets. The VoIP vendor is
saying the problem is due to the PIX configuration but my maintainer of
the PIX units is not the best and seems to not know what he is doing.
Here is what the VoIP vendor is saying:
The phones establish an H323 connection at logon time through which the
mediastreaming is switched on/off on call activity on the phone. The
special thing is here, that the RTP/RTCP ports that are negotiated at
logon time are always used by the phone over all calls. The Phone
controller relies on this behavior of the phones. The traceline
indicates that the H323 negotiation (done in the context of a call)
returned ports that are different of the ports negotiated at logon
time.
The typical failure on the user interface is that the phone cannot
hear, but is heard by the peer.
The H323 connection maintains two TCP connections between Phone
controller and phone. What you see with the Pix VPN is that this device
monitors and controls TCP connections such that a TCP connection is
terminated after a certain time with no traffic on that connection. The
PIX firewall sends in that case TCP RESET packets to both sides of the
TCP connection. The Phone Controller immediately reestablishes the
associated H323 connection and find the phone wants to use different
ports.
You can configure the PIX firewall to not do terminate the TCP
connections.
Here is the running configuration on the PIX
