And so, this is a reproducible outcome?  What kind of PBX?  Who is the SIP body provider?

I have dozens of different Meraki networks.  Many using SIP trunks or hosted voip and no issues.  SIP ALG is something you *don't* want in a firewall or router.  Generally, for SIP trunks you just need to 1:i nat or port forwards all the ports specified by your provider to your PBX.  This will typically exist 5060 plus a range of UDP ports like 20000-20199, for example.  And so your PBX might need some SBC or like configuration to present SIP headers correctly with your public IP.

Negative, all my sites are running ShoreTel beyond Meraki autoVPN'southward with no trouble.  Are you lot blocking whatsoever traffic between sites?

Sorry for not providing the full info, thought i'd put the feelers out offset. Here's the setup....

7 offices globally.

Avaya IP Role PBX (v8 & v9), Lync 2013 Enterprise Server (function of a nine server farm) in each of those offices.

Meraki MX80'south in the offices experiencing the audio issue. One-time Cisco 800/1900's in other offices that aren't experiencing the trouble, but those Cisco's take SIP ALG capability.

SIP Trunks from a company chosen Pure-IP. Separate trunks are connected to each Avaya/Lync server locally in each respective country that our offices are present.

We experience i-style audio or no audio at all onoutbound external calls only. Inbound (external) and internal calls to other offices (over the VPN) work perfectly.

@Brandon - We take a 1:1 NAT configured for each of the Avaya/Lync servers in each office on private IP addresses. No port forwarding as its not required with a full one:i NAT.

You lot hit the smash on the head when you lot said "Then your PBX might demand some SBC or like configuration to present SIP headers correctly with your public IP". This is exactly what's happening to our outbound SIP packets on both Lync & Avaya, the Meraki firewall isn't replacing the internal IP address in the SDP/RTP bundle with the NAT public IP. We're therefore sending our SIP provider an internal 192.168.x.x accost which they will never be able to connect to, and this is why outbound one-way voice or no vox at all is beingness experienced. The initial outbound call rings the number being called, but upon answering, there is no audio or only one-style audio.

@Christopher - Calls betwixt sites over the VPN work perfectly. This issue is related to outbound external calls simply, sorry for non clarifying earlier.

Meraki support have confirmed that all their products practice not support SIP. I had a conf call with ane of their senior developers today to discuss the issue and see if a patch tin be put into a firmware update. Their beginning take on this is the device behind the firewall should modify those SDP/RTP packets, but when i asked them why actual Cisco products solve this problem with the elementary command 'ip nat service sip tcp port 5060' they couldn't answer.

I'grand very interested in how you guys have this working, I tin understand this trouble for Avaya IP Office PBX's because they're quite sometime and were never designed with NAT in mind. However Lync I would've expected to be able to handle this.

Gotta dearest SIP trunks and the SIP 'standard' :)

It sounds like you lot are on the correct runway and no one is technically at error here, but Meraki has called not to implement that characteristic and they feel that the PBX or an external SBC should do that job.  You lot are right, that traditional Cisco and other gear can practise information technology though.

You may want to look at external SBC's every bit an option while waiting to see how fast Meraki can implement a patch, if at all.  I don't know much nearly it, but Avaya does have some type of SBC that works with IP Role (probably at additional cost)

I would think in current IP Office releases at that place may be some option to modify SIP headers that would piece of work for you lot besides.  Who is the SIP trunk provider?  Have yous reviewed Avaya application notes for the item provider or ideas?

edit: I notice you did mention the provider.

We exercise accept a work effectually provided past Pure-IP. They're routing their calls via a linux box that has a static host entry to force the private 192.168.x.x IP to be sent to the Public IP of our Avaya/Lync servers. Its nasty but it works, for now, but it means we have no automatic failover should Pure-IP have an outcome. I have to say, Pure-IP support are admittedly awesome and take been with me every step of the way in identifying this effect, as accept Meraki back up too.

External SBC's or Avaya'south solution to this blows the project costs out of the water and makes any cost savings in moving to SIP totally nonviable.

v9 is the latest Avaya release, and we're on it in nearly of our offices. I'm shocked at Lync not being able to handle this though.

Here's a few links showing the problem in full:

Just out of interest whats your setup?

And then, for premise solutions I piece of work with a lot for Zultys and it has an integrated SBC. built in and included.  Typically ,this means I configure the SIP trunk per a certificate with a known working configuration between Zultys and the 'certified' provider.  On the firewall I either practise static NAT or port forrard necessary ports to the PBX and then on the PBX in the SBC settings I tell it to utilise the external, public IP.

Unfortunately, it sounds like yous are defenseless with a mix of provider and gear that haven't been previously tested for interoperability so y'all are the Guinea pig at present..  I feel for you because I have seen similar situations many times.  Every i who sells this stuff from all sides will say it should work and information technology is just the SIP 'standard', etc.  Information technology makes you lot want to just go back to PRI, I bet.

Have you worked with Avaya support at all?  I still have a feeling in that location might be some configuration changes yous could brand on the IPO systems to 'ready' this.  Something along the lines of modifying SIP headers or similar..

Here's a screenshot of the wireshark capture showing the private IP in the SDP/RTP packet.

Information technology'southward not preventing us from having this working, its only problematic in sites nosotros utilise Meraki MX devices, and that'due south a problem for our other project of rolling out Meraki's to all offices. That's evidently stopped right now!

Avaya's answer to this is to utilise their gateway (SBC) product, a carve up device that'southward too expensive. An alternating solution would be to directly connect an interface on the Avaya to the Meraki and give information technology a direct connexion to the internet on a public IP, bypassing any NAT. But guess what....Meraki dont support this on MX LAN connections either!...its starting to brand me retrieve are Meraki products actually enterprise devices at all?!?!....you can do this on a real Cisco.

Take you considered your VPN setup?
Every bit y'all mention, the internal VPN calls are fine and calls originating from certain locations are fine.
This tells me how the VPN is configured, may different on each side.

Have yous considered bypassing the VPN for all VOIP traffic?

Where are your Lync and Avaya servers?
Does all of your VOIP traffic pass through/to them via VPN before becoming external or are you lot directing traffic to their external IP addresses? Or a little of both?

When I say "where are the servers?"  I don't mean the physical location, but the physical/logical connections to the network(due south).

The reason being, information technology seems like role of the VOIP traffic is passing through the VPN to connected sites and office is heading out through the local SIP trunks, meaning external calls are handled differently than internal calls.

Just saw the replies to this, I do accept SIP coming in from an outside provider over the Internet at two locations, but that provider is using a site-to-site VPN for the traffic, and so my Meraki doesn't really see the SIP traffic the way yours does I don't think.  It does work fine for all of our calls though.  I even accept sites without direct trunks going over the the Meraki AutoVPN, then out that site-to-site VPN for their SIP trunks.

Dealing with a Meraki having this effect right at present.  I can't quote posts considering SW is having technical bug.  but for the question of if Meraki are enterprise - absolutely not.  They were never meant to exist, nor are they.  Meraki are a very low stop product sold at the SMB, merely nowhere up to par with even good SMB gear, let lone enterprise.

Hi leighbennett, Im dealing with the aforementioned consequence, i have a pbx conected to the mx64 to the Cyberspace, i cam register softphones from the deject merely no voip sound going on. Did you lot solved this issue?
