12.8 Network Address Translation Support
Network Address Translation (NAT) is a mechanism that maps internal IP addresses (and
ports) used within a private network to global IP addresses and vice versa, providing
transparent routing to end hosts. The primary advantages of NAT include (1) reduction in
the number of global IP addresses required in a private network (global IP addresses are
only used to connect to the Internet) and (2) better network security by hiding the internal
architecture.
The design of SIP creates a problem for VoIP traffic to pass through NAT. SIP uses IP
addresses and port numbers in its message body. However, the NAT server is unable to
modify the SIP messages and thus, can’t change local addresses to global addresses.
This section discusses the device's solutions for overcoming NAT traversal issues.
12.8.1 Device Located behind NAT
Two different streams traverse through NAT - signaling and media. A device located
behind a NAT, that initiates a signaling path has problems receiving incoming signaling
responses as they are blocked by the NAT server. Therefore, the initiating device must
inform the receiving device where to send the media. To resolve this NAT problem, the
following solutions are provided by the device, listed in priority of the selected method used
by the device:
a.
If configured, uses an external STUN server to assign a NAT address to all interfaces
- see .Configuring STUN on page
b.
If configured, uses the single Static NAT IP address for all interfaces - see 'Configuring
a Static NAT IP Address for All Interfaces' on page
If NAT is not configured by any of the above-mentioned methods, the device sends the
packet according to its IP address configured in the Multiple Interface table.
The figure below illustrates the NAT problem faced by the SIP networks where the device
is located behind a NAT:
