What to do next
Configure the firewall settings on your router to allow SIP traffic.
Configure NAT mapping with STUN
If the service provider network does not provide a Session Border Controller functionality and if the other
requirements are met, it is possible to use Session Traversal Utilities for NAT (STUN) to discover the NAT
mapping. The STUN protocol allows applications operating behind a network address translator (NAT) to
discover the presence of the network address translator and to obtain the mapped (public) IP address (NAT
addresses) and the port number that the NAT has allocated for the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) connections
to remote hosts. The protocol requires assistance from a third-party network server (STUN server) located on
the opposing (public) side of the NAT, usually the public Internet. This option is considered a last resort and
should be used only if the other methods are not available. To use STUN:
• The router must use asymmetric NAT. See
Determining Symmetric or Asymmetric NAT, on page 62
.
• A computer running STUN server software is available on the network. You can also use a public STUN
server or set up your own STUN server.
