Goal (short description)

Setup SIP-H.323 translator and/or SIP/H.323 SBC (involved in sip to sip and h.323 to h.323 calls)

Applicability

Protocol translator and/or border gateway for SIP and H.323

Prerequisites (OS, dependencies on other software)

  • Appropriate Cisco router with appropriate IOS. See datasheet for router type, memory and IOS requirements.
  • Basic IOS configuration knowledge
  • Router with configured network access

Configuration (OS agnostic)

Product page
Configuration guides

Call direction and translation section

voice service voip
allow-connections h323 to h323
allow-connections h323 to sip
allow-connections sip to h323
allow-connections sip to sip

Allow or ban directions you want to use.

Main protocol section

h323
call start interwork
sip

Here can be set protocol parameters like slow start and fast start for H.323. Call start interwork allows translation between these modes. Protocol setting can be changed for particular dial peer i.e. by means of voice-class h323 commands or by appropriate commands directly in dial peers

voice class h323 500
  call start fast

Codec class

voice class codec 200
codec preference 1 g711alaw
codec preference 2 g711ulaw
codec preference 3 gsmfr
codec preference 4 g729r8

You can define sets of codecs with preferences and assign these sets to dial peers. Or you can directly assign codec in dial peer, but only one.

Dial peers

SIP dial peer that uses configured sip-server.

dial-peer voice 211 voip
destination-pattern 90........
voice-class codec 200
session protocol sipv2
session target sip-server

SIP dial peer that routes traffic to ip.

dial-peer voice 211 voip
destination-pattern 91........
voice-class codec 200
session protocol sipv2
session target ipv4:5.6.7.8

H.323 dial peer that uses RAS (configured gatekeeper).

dial-peer voice 1 voip
destination-pattern 10.........
voice-class codec 200
session target ras

H.323 dial peer that routes to another gw or endpoint

dial-peer voice 1 voip
destination-pattern 11.........
voice-class codec 200
voice-class h323 500
session target ipv4:9.8.7.6

Specific h323 class is configured to change some parameters.

SIP UA settings

sip-ua
nat symmetric role passive
nat symmetric check-media-src
sip-server dns:domain.dom

Here is defined sip server (used in dial peers) and various sip parameters.

*Gatekeeper settings*
interterface Loopback0
description MGMT Loopback
ip address 1.2.3.4 255.255.255.255
h323-gateway voip interface
h323-gateway voip id GK1 ipaddr 1.1.1.1 1718 priority 100
h323-gateway voip id GK2 ipaddr 1.1.1.2 1718
h323-gateway voip h323-id IP2IPGW
h323-gateway voip tech-prefix 1#
h323-gateway voip bind srcaddr 1.2.3.4

Gatekeeper settings for ras session target in dial peers with primary and secondary gatekeeper. It is not necessary to configure it on Loopback interface.


OS specific help

N/A - There is only CISCO IOS

Validation, confirmation tests

Route call through IP2IP gw.
If you don't use sip server and gatekeeper, set dial peer destinations (session-target) directly to endpoints and call each other ( i.e. sip:numberofh323endpoint@ipofip2ip)
