Cisco ASA 5505 – NAT or Port Forward for SIP / VoIP ver 8.4

ciscocisco-asanat;sipvoip

I just had an NEC PBX installed that lets me use SIP trunks for VoIP services, My gateway is a Cisco ASA 5505 running 8.4 and I only have one public/static IP Addresses.

So far, my trunks are registering and I can make outgoing calls and everything works, but incoming calls are silent (both ways). I'm assuming its because the UDP ports 1024-1215 are not forwarded and neither is SIP (5060).

What I need to do is forward the UDP port range of 1024-1215, however it seems I can't create a port map for UDP, or define a range of ports for UDP in a static Route. Any help in the right direction would be appreciated !!! (I was told ASA 8.4 would allow forwarding of a range of ports so I upgraded and now I'm a bit lost with the new commands)

Using the ASDM I gave it a few tries but here were my results:

[OK] object network NEC_DSX
      object network NEC_DSX
[ERROR] nat (inside,outside) static interface service udp 1024-1215 1024-1215 

nat (inside,outside) static interface service udp 1024-1215 1024-1215 
                                                      ^
ERROR: % Invalid input detected at '^' marker.


I also tried:

[OK] object network NEC_DSX
      object network NEC_DSX
[ERROR] nat (inside,outside) static interface service udp 1024 1024 
     NAT unable to reserve ports.

You don't have to explicitly forward RTP ports (>1024) as you have sip inspect turned on. When a SIP INVITE comes through, the router will open the appropriate RTP ports for the duration of the call.

As far as NATing SIP, you are missing the NAT command, and the access-list entry:

! this should be tightened to allow traffic only from your telephone company, or 
! people with bad intent will happily place international calls on your account
access-list outside_access_in extended permit udp any host 192.168.3.150 eq 5060 
! nat 5060 to 5060
object network NEC_DSX
 nat (inside,outside) static interface service udp 5060 5060

Though it is not needed, the proper syntax to forward a range is:

object service rtp-1024-1215 
 service udp source range 1024 1215
object network NEC_DSX_RTP
 host 192.168.3.150
 nat (inside,outside) static interface service rtp-1024-1215 rtp-1024-1215
