Getting from a host on a public IP to a host on a private IP does not necessarily require NAT, just a static route.
The sipXecs server could be at a public IP on a DMZ, and the phones could be on a subnet with private addresses attached to that DMZ via a router. NAT may or may not be enabled at that router. +----------+ | Internet | +----------+ | Firewall | +---DMZ----+ | sipXecs | Public IP Address +----------+ | Router (If the phones don't require Internet access, then NAT is not required here) | +-Phone Subnet-+ | Phones | Private IP Addresses +--------------+ Mike Burden Lynk Systems, Inc e-mail: m...@lynk.com Phone: 616-532-4985 -----Original Message----- From: Todd Hodgen [mailto:thod...@verizon.net] Sent: Monday, December 07, 2009 4:35 PM To: Burden, Mike; sipx-users@list.sipfoundry.org Subject: RE: [sipx-users] How to set up a non-NAT'd sipXecs IP PBX withoutgiving public addresses to the phones If the Server is on a Public Address, and the phones are on NAT addresses, how would they get to server without going through a router to get onto the same network as the server? That is where your Nat will come in - traversing the router. Seems the Server would need to know they are NAT, as it will be NAT coming to the server. -----Original Message----- From: sipx-users-boun...@list.sipfoundry.org [mailto:sipx-users-boun...@list.sipfoundry.org] On Behalf Of Burden, Mike Sent: Monday, December 07, 2009 1:25 PM To: sipx-users@list.sipfoundry.org Subject: [sipx-users] How to set up a non-NAT'd sipXecs IP PBX without giving public addresses to the phones I asked this once before, but maybe not in precise terms... Given that sipXecs cannot be dual-homed, if the sipXecs server is given a public IP address, does it create issues to have the phones behind NAT? If so, then do the phones need non-NAT access to the ITSP, or just non-NAT access to the sipXecs server?
