Prerequisites for SIP Bind Features
The following are the prerequisites for this feature:
- Ensure the gateway has voice functionality that is configurable for Session Initiation Protocol (SIP).
- Establish a working IP network. For more information about configuring IP, refer to the Cisco IOS IP Addressing Configuration Guide.
- Configure VoIP. For more information about configuring VoIP, refer to the Cisco IOS Voice Command Reference.
Restrictions for SIP Bind Features
Although the bind all command is an accepted configuration, it does not appear in show running-config command output. Because the bind all command is equivalent to issuing the commands bind source and bind media, those are the commands that appear in the show running-config command output.
Information About SIP Bind Features
When you configure SIP on a router, the ports on all its interfaces are open by default. This makes the router vulnerable to malicious attackers who can execute toll fraud across the gateway if the router has a public IP address and a public switched telephone network (PSTN) connection. To eliminate the threat, you should bind an interface to an IP address so that only those ports are open to the outside world. In addition, you should protect any public or untrusted interface by configuring a firewall or an access control list (ACL) to prevent unwanted traffic from traversing the router.
Benefits of SIP Bind Features
The benefits of SIP Bind feature is as follows:
- SIP signaling and media paths can advertise the same source IP address on the gateway for certain applications, even if the paths used different addresses to reach the source. This eliminates confusion for firewall applications that may have taken action on source address packets before the use of binding.
- Firewalls filter messages based on variables such as the message source, the target address, and available ports. Normally a firewall opens only certain addresses or port combination to the outside world and those addresses can change dynamically. Because VoIP technology requires the use of more than one address or port combination, the bind command adds flexibility by assigning a gateway to a specific interface (and therefore the associated address) for the signaling or media application.
You can obtain a predefined and separate interface for both signaling and media traffic. Once a bind command is in effect, the interface it limits is bound solely to that purpose. Administrators can therefore dictate the use of one network to transport the signaling and another network to transport the media. The benefits of administrator control are: - Administrators know the traffic that runs on specific networks, thereby making debugging easier.
- Administrators know the capacity of the network and the target traffic, thereby making engineering and planning easier.
- Traffic is controlled, allowing Qualtiy of Service (QoS) to be monitored.
- The bind media command relaxes the constraints imposed by the bind control and bind all commands, which cannot be set during an active call. The bind media command works with active calls.
To configure SIP Gateway Support for the bind Command, you should understand the following concepts:
Source Address
In early releases of Cisco IOS software with SIP functionality, the source address of a packet going out of the gateway was never deterministic. That is, the session protocols and VoIP layers always depended on the IP layer to give the best local address . The best local address was then used as the source address (the address showing where the SIP request came from) for signaling and media packets. Using this nondeterministic address occasionally caused confusion for firewall applications, because a firewall could not be configured with an exact address and would take action on several different source address packets.
However, the bind command allows you to configure the source IP address of signaling and media packets to a specific interface’s IP address. Thus, the address that goes out on the packet is bound to the IP address of the interface specified with the bind command. Packets that are not destined to the bound address are discarded.
When you do not want to specify a bind address or if the interface is down, the IP layer still provides the best local address.
The Support Ability to Configure Source IP Address for Signaling and Media per SIP Trunk feature extends the global bind functionality to support the SIP signaling Transport Layer Socket (TLS) with UDP and TCP. The source address at the dial peer is the source address in all the signaling and media packets between the gateway and the remote SIP entity for calls using the dial-peer. Multiple SIP listen sockets with specific source address handle the incoming SIP traffic from each selected SIP entity. The order of preference for retrieving the SIP signalling and media source address for inbound and outbound calls is as follows:
- Bind configuration at dial peer level
- Bind configuration at global level
- Best local IP address to reach the destination
The table below describes the state of the system when the bind command is applied in the global or dial peer level:
Bind State |
System Status |
---|---|
No global bind |
The best local address is used in all outbound SIP messages. Only one SIP listen socket with a wildcard source address. |
Global bind |
Global bind address used in all outbound SIP messages. Only one SIP listen socket with global bind address. |
No global bind Dial peer bind |
Dial peer bind address is used in outbound SIP messages of this dial peer. The remaining SIP messages use the best local address. One SIP listen socket with a wildcard source address. Additional SIP listen socket for each different dial peer bind listening on the specific dial peer bind address. |
Global bind Dial peer bind |
Dial peer bind address is used in outbound SIP messages of this dial peer. The remaining SIP messages use the global bind address. One SIP listen socket with global bind address. Additional SIP listen socket for each different dial peer bind command listening on the specific dial peer bind address. |
The bind command performs different functions based on the state of the interface (see the table below).
The bind command applied at the dial peer level can be modified only in the following situations:
Voice Media Stream Processing
The SIP Gateway Support Enhancements to the bind Command feature extends the capabilities of the bind command by supporting a deterministic network interface for the voice media stream. Before the voice media stream addition, the bind command supported a deterministic network interface for control (signaling) traffic or all traffic. With the SIP Gateway Support Enhancements to the bind Command feature a finer granularity of control is achieved on the network interfaces used for voice traffic.
If multiple bind commands are issued in sequence--that is, if one bind command is configured and then another bind command is configured--a set interaction happens between the commands. The table below describes the expected command behavior.
Interface State |
bind Command |
Result Using bind Command |
---|---|---|
Without active calls |
bind all |
Generated bind control and bind media commands to override existing bind control and bind media commands. |
bind control |
Overrides existing bind control command. |
|
bind media |
Overrides existing bind media command. |
|
With active calls |
bind all or bind control |
Blocks the command, and the following messages are displayed: 00:16:39: There are active calls 00:16:39: configure_sip_bind_command: The bind command change will not take effect |
bind media |
Succeeds and overrides any existing bind mediacommand. |
The bind all and bind controlcommands perform different functions based on the state of the interface. The table below describes the actions performed based on the interface state.
Note | The bind all command only applies to global level, whereas the bind control and bind media command apply to global and dial peer. The table below applies to bind media only if the media interface is the same as the bind control interface. If the two interfaces are different, media behavior is independent of the interface state. |
Interface State |
Result Using bind all or bind control Commands |
---|---|
Shut down With or without active calls |
TCP, TLS, and UDP socket listeners are initially closed. (Socket listeners receive datagrams addressed to the socket.) Then the sockets are opened to listen to any IP address. If the outgoing gateway has the bind command enabled and has an active call, the call becomes a one-way call with media flowing from the outgoing gateway to the terminating gateway. The dial peer bind socket listeners of the interface are closed and the configuration turns inactive for all subsequent SIP messages. |
Not shut down Without active calls |
TCP, TLS, and UDP socket listeners are initially closed. (Socket listeners receive datagrams addressed to the socket.) Then the sockets are opened and bound to the IP address set by the bind command. The sockets accept packets destined for the bound address only. The dial peer bind socket listeners of the interface are reopened and the configuration turns active for all subsequent SIP messages. |
Not shut down With active calls |
TCP, TLS, and UDP socket listeners are initially closed. Then the sockets are opened to listen to any IP address. The dial peer bind socket listeners of the interface are reopened and the configuration turns active for all subsequent SIP messages. |
Bound interface’s IP address is removed. |
TCP, TLS, and UDP socket listeners are initially closed. Then the sockets are opened to listen to any address because the IP address has been removed. A message is printed that states the IP address has been deleted from the bound SIP interface. If the outgoing gateway has the bind command enabled and has an active call, the call becomes a one-way call with media flowing from the outgoing gateway to the terminating gateway. The dial peer bind socket listeners of the interface are closed and the configuration turns inactive for all subsequent SIP messages. |
The physical cable is pulled on the bound port, or the interface layer goes down. |
TCP, TLS, and UDP socket listeners are initially closed. Then the sockets are opened and bound to listen to any address. When the pulled cable is replaced, the result is as documented for interfaces that are not shut down. The dial peer bind socket listeners of the interface are closed and the configuration turns inactive for all subsequent SIP messages. |
A bind interface is shut down, or its IP address is changed, or the physical cable is pulled while SIP calls are active. |
The call becomes a one-way call with media flowing in only one direction. The media flows from the gateway where the change or shutdown took place to the gateway where no change occurred. Thus, the gateway with the status change no longer receives media. The call is then disconnected, but the disconnected message is not understood by the gateway with the status change, and the call is still assumed to be active. If the bind interface is shutdown, the dial peer bind socket listeners of the interface are closed. If the IP address of the interface is changed, the socket listeners representing the bind command is opened with the available IP address of the interface and the configuration turns active for all subsequent SIP messages. |
