Outbound call status stuck in Dialing.The most common issues that result from enabled SIP-ALG when using Virtual Office applications include: ( for information, we have a Fortigate 100F. We followed the procedure to Disable SIP ALG on our Firewall but the test remain red. Only the test with SIP ALG is red, the others tests are green. In this case, the firewall can close the port between 8x8 and the device endpoint, causing an inability to receive incoming calls. 1 Hi, we have a problem on the Firewall check.
Sip alg fortigate registration#
When SIP-ALG is enabled, CP SBCs determine the endpoints are publicly addressed and therefore do not need frequent registration refreshes to keep the firewall port open between SBC and the endpoint. For this reason, 8x8 recommends that this function be disabled.ĭisabling SIP-ALG is an essential part of configuring the firewall on your router and optimizing it for 8x8 service. Many ALGs (including Cisco's) have bugs that cause call flow and registration failures. Some ALGs (including Cisco's) intermittently miss some packets (read: do not perform fixup), or in the case of fragmented packets, do not even examine and change headers. If ALG disrupts a call, it can lead to incoming call failure, phones that unregister themselves, one-way audio, hold issues, and more. This can make the device believe that it is not behind a NAT, when in fact it is. When SIP ALG re-writes SIP packet headings and payloads, the process can disrupt the delivery process. Unfortunately, some devices do not properly manipulate these packets causing them to be invalid or contain incorrect information. Network devices with ALG Enabled attempt to "correct" this by opening all SIP packets and manipulating the payload (body) of the packets by replacing private addresses with the public/NAT IP of the edge device and the NAT port. As the phone (or softphone) is not aware of the public address, all payload information would reference the device's Private Address. SIP ALG (Application Level Gateway) is a feature in which the network device (router, access point, or any Layer 2 or Layer 3 device) manipulates the payload section of a SIP Packet to change the Private address to be Public address.
