6.2.9. The H.323 ALG Chapter 6. Security Mechanisms • Destination Port set to 5060 (the default SIP signalling port) • Type set to TCP/UDP 3. Define four rules in the IP rule set: • An Allow rule for outbound traffic from the clients on the internal network to the proxy located on the DMZ interface. • An Allow rule for outbound traffic from the proxy behind the DMZ interface to the remote clients on the Internet. • An Allow rule for inbound SIP traffic from the SIP proxy behind the DMZ interface to the clients located on the local, protected network. • An Allow rule for inbound SIP traffic from clients and proxies on the Internet to the proxy behind the DMZ interface. 4. If Record-Route is not enabled at the proxy, direct exchange of SIP messages must also be allowed between clients, bypassing the proxy. The following two additional rules are therefore needed when Record-Route is disabled: • An Allow rule for outbound traffic from the clients on the local network to the external clients and proxies on the Internet. • An Allow rule for inbound SIP traffic from the Internet to clients on the local network. The IP rules with Record-Route enabled are: OutboundToProxy OutboundFromProxy InboundFromProxy InboundToProxy Action Allow Allow Allow Allow Src Interface lan dmz dmz wan Src Network lannet ip_proxy ip_proxy all-nets Dest Interface dmz lan core dmz Dest Network ip_proxy lannet dmz_ip ip_proxy With Record-Route disabled, the following IP rules must be added to those above: OutboundBypassProxy InboundBypassProxy Action Allow Allow Src Interface lan wan Src Network lannet all-nets Dest Interface wan lan Dest Network all-nets lannet 6.2.9. The H.323 ALG H.323 is a standard approved by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) to allow compatibility in video conference transmissions over IP networks. It is used for real-time audio, video and data communication over packet-based networks such as the Internet. It specifies the components, protocols and procedures for providing such multimedia communication, including Internet phone and voice-over-IP (VoIP). H.323 Components H.323 consists of four main components: Terminals Devices used for audio and optionally video or data communication, such as phones, conferencing units, or "software phones" such as the product "NetMeeting". 275

Destination Port
set to
5060
(the default SIP signalling port)
Type
set to
TCP/UDP
3.
Define four rules in the IP rule set:
An
Allow
rule for outbound traffic from the clients on the internal network to the proxy
located on the DMZ interface.
An
Allow
rule for outbound traffic from the proxy behind the DMZ interface to the remote
clients on the Internet.
An
Allow
rule for inbound SIP traffic from the SIP proxy behind the DMZ interface to the
clients located on the local, protected network.
An
Allow
rule for inbound SIP traffic from clients and proxies on the Internet to the proxy
behind the DMZ interface.
4.
If
Record-Route
is
not
enabled at the proxy, direct exchange of SIP messages must also be
allowed between clients, bypassing the proxy. The following two additional rules are therefore
needed when
Record-Route
is disabled:
An
Allow
rule for outbound traffic from the clients on the local network to the external
clients and proxies on the Internet.
An
Allow
rule for inbound SIP traffic from the Internet to clients on the local network.
The IP rules with
Record-Route
enabled are:
Action

Src Network
Dest Interface
Dest Network
OutboundToProxy
Allow
lan
lannet
dmz
ip_proxy
OutboundFromProxy
Allow

ip_proxy
lan

InboundFromProxy
Allow
dmz
ip_proxy
core
dmz_ip
InboundToProxy
Allow

With
Record-Route
disabled, the following IP rules must be added to those above:
Action

OutboundBypassProxy
Allow

6.2.9. The H.323 ALG
H.323 is a standard approved by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) to allow
compatibility in video conference transmissions over IP networks. It is used for real-time audio,
video and data communication over packet-based networks such as the Internet. It specifies the
components, protocols and procedures for providing such multimedia communication, including
Internet phone and voice-over-IP (VoIP).
H.323 Components
H.323 consists of four main components:
Terminals
Devices
used
for
audio
and
optionally
video
or
data
communication,
such
as
phones,
conferencing
units,
or
"software phones" such as the product "NetMeeting".
