I set up a new HP MSR2004 router for a corporate network. The network uses an internal private net and has one static public ip address. Surfing the web and all tcp related things seem to work fine. As does dns via udp.

However, all UDP based services are not working properly. We are using an external SIP provider and the ip phones in the internal network constantly loose their registration and are not able to place outbound calls.

Here is the (sanitized) config file:

UPDATE: The device supports NAT ALG for multiple protocols, SIP being one of them. There's no difference with or without ALG. However, looking at the sip packets received by the asterisk server, the body is rewritten correctly by the SBC. Incoming calls are working fine, including audio. This leads me to the conclusion, that the must be something wrong with the outgoing udp packets not being tracked/PAT'ed correctly. I might be totally off though!

How can I debug/solve this issue?

  • Please edit your question to include the necessary information. You can read the Network Engineering Question Checklist for guidance. We cannot simply guess or speculate, and remember that host/server questions and questions about protocols above OSI layer-4 are off-topic here. – Ron Maupin♦ May 28 '18 at 18:50
  • Just updated the question, please review. – Daniel Becker May 31 '18 at 18:44
  • Unfortunately, if you really knew what the relevant parts of the configuration are, then you could probably solve the problem. Very often, other parts of a configuration can have a profound effect on what you are doing. You should include the full (sanitized) configuration, as well as any logs or debugs. What are the timeouts you have set (or the defaults if you didn't set them) for UDP through NAT? What do the logs say when you have a problem? – Ron Maupin♦ May 31 '18 at 18:50
  • That's a good point. Let me add the full config. – Daniel Becker May 31 '18 at 19:11
  • I'v added the full config. I don't have any logs or anything else. I could include a system-diagnostic output. But that might be a bit lengthy. – Daniel Becker May 31 '18 at 19:15

It turns out that sip never was the problem. The ip phones (Snom D710) send dns requests to determine if there's a SRV record for sip for that domain. The router discarded the dns requests instead of replying with domain not found. So the phone kept trying for a minute before initiating the call.
