SIP NAT configuration example: destination address translation (destination NAT)

This configuration example shows how to configure the FortiGate to support the destination address translation scenario shown in the figure below. The FortiGate requires two SIP security policies:

• A destination NAT security policy that allows SIP messages to be sent from the Internet to the private network. This policy must include destination NAT because the addresses on the private network are not routable on the Internet.
• A source NAT security policy that allows SIP messages to be sent from the private network to the Internet.

SIP destination NAT scenario part two: 200 OK returned to Phone B and media streams established

General configuration steps

The following general configuration steps are required for this destination NAT SIP configuration. This example uses the default VoIP profile.

1. Add the SIP proxy server firewall virtual IP.
2. Add a firewall address for the SIP proxy server on the private network.
3. Add a destination NAT security policy that accepts SIP sessions from the Internet destined for the SIP proxy server virtual IP and translates the destination address to the IP address of the SIP proxy server on the private network.
4. Add a security policy that accepts SIP sessions initiated by the SIP proxy server and destined for the Internet.

Configuration steps - GUI

To add the SIP proxy server firewall virtual IP

1. Go to Policy & Objects > Virtual IPs.
2. Add the following SIP proxy server virtual IP.

VIP Type	IPv4
Name	SIP_Proxy_VIP
Interface	port1
Type	Static NAT
External IP Address/Range	172.20.120.50
Mapped IP Address/Range	10.31.101.50

To add a firewall address for the SIP proxy server

1. Go to Policy & Objects > Addresses.
2. Add the following for the SIP proxy server:

Address Name	SIP_Proxy_Server
Type	Subnet
Subnet/IP Range	10.31.101.50/255.255.255.255
Interface	port2

To add the security policies

1. Go to Policy & Objects > IPv4 Policy.
2. Add a destination NAT security policy that includes the SIP proxy server virtual IP that allows Phone B (and other SIP phones on the Internet) to send SIP request messages to the SIP proxy server.

Incoming Interface	port1
Outgoing Interface	port2
Source	all
Destination Address	SIP_Proxy_VIP
Schedule	always
Service	SIP
Action	ACCEPT

3. Turn on NAT and select Use Outgoing Interface Address.
4. Turn on VoIP and select the default VoIP profile.
5. Select OK.
6. Add a source NAT security policy to allow the SIP proxy server to send SIP request messages to Phone B and the Internet:

Incoming Interface	port2
Destination Address	all
Source	SIP_Proxy_Server
Schedule	always
Service	SIP
Action	ACCEPT

7. Turn on NAT and select Use OutgingInterface Address.
8. Turn on VoIP and select the default VoIP profile.
9. Select OK.

Configuration steps - CLI

To add the SIP proxy server firewall virtual IP and firewall address

1. Enter the following command to add the SIP proxy server firewall virtual IP.

config firewall vip

edit SIP_Proxy_VIP

set type static-nat

set extip 172.20.120.50

set mappedip 10.31.101.50

set extintf port1

end

2. Enter the following command to add the SIP proxy server firewall address.

config firewall address

edit SIP_Proxy_Server

set associated interface port2

set type ipmask

set subnet 10.31.101.50 255.255.255.255

end

To add security policies

1. Enter the following command to add a destination NAT security policy that includes the SIP proxy server virtual IP that allows Phone B (and other SIP phones on the Internet) to send SIP request messages to the SIP proxy server.

config firewall policy

edit 0

set srcintf port1

set dstintf port2

set srcaddr all

set dstaddr SIP_Proxy_VIP

set action accept

set schedule always

set service SIP

set nat enable

set utm-status enable

set voip-profile default

end

2. Enter the following command to add a source NAT security policy to allow the SIP proxy server to send SIP request messages to Phone B and the Internet:

config firewall policy

edit 0

set srcintf port2

set dstintf port1

set srcaddr SIP_Proxy_Server

set dstaddr all

set action accept

set schedule always

set service SIP

set nat enable

set utm-status enable

set voip-profile default

end
