Alex,
The media ports are configured in rtp.conf. Also, note that Asterisk
sends RTP packets out the same ports it expects them to return on. This
has the effect of creating a NAT mapping for that 5-tuple, as well as
opening a hole in your firewall (naturally, YMMV depending on exactly
what you're running for a firewall).
One interesting consequence of the way Asterisk works is that if you
don't have anything behind the NAT/Firewall that's generating RTP
packets (ie, no audio) no hole gets made and incoming packets will get
rejected. I recently ran into an interesting problem with two SIP
phones trying to talk through Asterisk behind a (non-NAT) firewall.
The problem was both phones were sending RTP to the Asterisk box but the
firewall was blocking both RTP streams because Asterisk never sent any
RTP out those ports. And the reason Asterisk hadn't sent RTP out those
ports was because it was waiting for RTP from each of the two SIP
phones. This was the classic chicken-and-egg scenario.
I resolved it by opening up the firewall for the range of ports I had
configured Asterisk to use for RTP. A better solution would be fore
Asterisk to always send a starter RTP packet so that it can ensure
that the firewall opens up.

Hello everybody,
I'm new to Asterisk and I'm trying to configure the SIP side.
I use Asterisk under the following configuration:
SIP Proxy INTERNET | NAT FIREWALL | Asterisk SIP
Phone A
I'm trying to put a call from SIP Phone A through Asterisk to the SIP
Proxy. I'm able to deliver messages to SIP Proxy. However, I have
noticed that the port used to deliver the audio changes randomly. I
would like to fix that to a specific range of ports so that I can tell
to NAT Firewall to port forward these particalar ports to Asterisk. I
have searched on documentation and the only thing that I found was how
to change the SIP port but not the media port. Has anybody any ideas
on how to solve that problem or where to look for a solution?
Regards,
Alex.
