It works fine for me. I have a handful of Cisco 7960’s behind a PIX firewall and they register to a Asterisk server outside of the PIX with no trouble at all. I didn’t do anything special to the PIX (i.e. no access list entries).
The tricks I found to make it work generally apply to any setup where the clients are behind NAT. I also run the tftp server for the phones to get configs inside the firewall, and the SIPDefault.cnf file specifies the proxy address outside of the firewall.
In the Cisco phone config I have these NAT settings: nat_enable: 1 ; 0-Disabled (default), 1-Enabled nat_address: "" ; WAN IP address of NAT box (dotted IP or DNS A record only) voip_control_port: 5060 ; UDP port used for SIP messages (default - 5060) start_media_port: 16384 ; Start RTP range for media (default - 16384) end_media_port: 32766 ; End RTP range for media (default - 32766) nat_received_processing: 0 ; 0-Disabled (default), 1-Enabled
And the sip.conf entry for this peer is:
[7000] type=friend nat=yes qualify=yes context=xxxx secret=xxxx callerid=xxxx host=dynamic canreinvite=no dtmfmode=rfc2833
timer_register_expires: 120
Setting the registry timer to 120 seconds causes the phone to send out a packet at least every 2 minutes which will open a UDP xlate on the PIX for the session. Then the trick is to use both ‘nat=yes’ and ‘qualify=yes’ so Asterisk chats with the phone pretty often. The interval of OPTIONS or REGISTER messages between Asterisk and phone definitely needs to be shorter than the PIX’s UDP xlate timeout or the PIX will close the xlate and you won’t be able to pass packets into the phone for an incoming call.
Note that you can put a numeric value after qualify= instead of “yes” to fine-tine the interval at which it sends a OPTIONS message.

I cannot get incoming calls to sip phones behind a PIX to work, outgoing is fine.
Asterisk (Public IP) à Internet à PIX (NAT) à Sip Phones
I have tried no fixup protocol sip, I have punched a hole in the Pix allowing anything from the Asterisk box into the network, still no incoming.
I have done all the Wiki suggests in regarding to NAT.
Is their a trick getting the incoming to work?
Has anyone managed to get this to work or am I wasting my time on this?
