Cisco UBE Support for SRTP-RTP Internetworking
The Cisco Unified Border Element Support for SRTP-RTP Internetworking feature allows secure enterprise-to-enterprise calls and provides operational enhancements for Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) trunks from Cisco Unified Call Manager and Cisco Unified Call Manager Express. Support for Secure Real-Time Transport Protocol (SRTP)-Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP) internetworking between one or multiple Cisco Unified Border Elements (Cisco UBEs) is enabled for SIP-SIP audio calls.
In Cisco IOS Release 15.2(1) and Cisco IOS XE Release 3.7S, the SRTP-RTP Interworking feature was extended to support supplementary services on Cisco UBEs.

Information About CUBE for SRTP-RTP Internetworking
To configure support for SRTP-RTP internetworking, you should understand the following concepts:
- CUBE Support for SRTP-RTP Internetworking
- TLS on the Cisco Unified Border Element
- Supplementary Services Support on the Cisco UBE for RTP-SRTP Calls
CUBE Support for SRTP-RTP Internetworking
The Cisco Unified Border Element Support for SRTP-RTP Internetworking feature connects SRTP Cisco Unified CallManager domains with the following:
RTP Cisco Unified CallManager domains. Domains that do not support SRTP or have not been configured for SRTP, as shown in the figure below.
RTP Cisco applications or servers. For example, Cisco Unified MeetingPlace, Cisco WebEx, or Cisco Unity, which do not support SRTP, or have not been configured for SRTP, or are resident in a secure data center, as shown in the figure below.
RTP to third-party equipment. For example, IP trunks to PBXs or virtual machines, which do not support SRTP.
The Cisco Unified Border Element Support for SRTP-RTP Internetworking feature connects SRTP enterprise domains to RTP SIP provider SIP trunks. SRTP-RTP internetworking connects RTP enterprise networks with SRTP over an external network between businesses. This provides flexible secure business-to-business communications without the need for static IPsec tunnels or the need to deploy SRTP within the enterprise, as shown in the figure below.
SRTP-RTP internetworking also connects SRTP enterprise networks with static IPsec over external networks, as shown inthe figure below.
SRTP-RTP internetworking on the Cisco UBE in a network topology uses single-pair key generation. Existing audio and dual-tone multifrequency (DTMF) transcoding is used to support voice calls. SRTP-RTP internetworking support is provided in both flow-through and high-density mode. SRTP-SRTP pass-through is not impacted.
SRTP is configured on one dial peer and RTP is configured on the other dial peer using the srtp and srtp fallback commands. The dial-peer configuration takes precedence over the global configuration on the Cisco UBE.
Fallback handling occurs if one of the call endpoints does not support SRTP. The call can fall back to RTP-RTP, or the call can fail, depending on the configuration. Fallback takes place only if the srtp fallback command is configured on the respective dial peer. RTP-RTP fallback occurs when no transcoding resources are available for SRTP-RTP internetworking.
TLS on the Cisco Unified Border Element
The Cisco Unified Border Element Support for SRTP-RTP Internetworking feature allows Transport Layer Security (TLS) to be enabled or disabled between the Skinny Call Control Protocol (SCCP) server and the SCCP client. By default, TLS is enabled, which provides added protection at the transport level and ensures that SRTP keys are not easily accessible. Once TLS is disabled, the SRTP keys are not protected.
SRTP-RTP internetworking is available with normal and universal transcoders. The transcoder on the Cisco Unified Border Element is invoked using SCCP messaging between the SCCP server and the SCCP client. SCCP messages carry the SRTP keys to the digital signal processor (DSP) farm at the SCCP client. The transcoder can be within the same router or can be located in a separate router. TLS should be disabled only when the transcoder is located in the same router. To disable TLS, configure the no form of the tls command in dsp farm profile configuration mode. Disabling TLS improves CPU performance.
Supplementary Services Support on the Cisco UBE for RTP-SRTP Calls
The Supplementary Services Support on Cisco UBE for RTP-SRTP Calls feature supports the following supplementary services on the Cisco UBE:
Midcall codec change with voice class codec configuration for SRTP-RTP and SRTP pass-through calls.
Reinvite-based call hold.
Reinvite-based call resume.
-
Music on hold (MoH) invoked from the Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Cisco UCM), where the call leg changes between SRTP and RTP for an MoH source.
Reinvite-based call forward.
Reinvite-based call transfer.
Call transfer based on a REFER message, with local consumption or pass-through of the REFER message on the Cisco UBE.
Call forward based on a 302 message, with local consumption or pass-through of the 302 message on the Cisco UBE.
T.38 fax switchover.
Fax pass-through switchover.
DO-EO for SRTP-RTP calls.
DO-EO for SRTP pass-through calls.
When the initial SRTP-RTP or SRTP pass-through call is established on the Cisco UBE, a call can switch between SRTP and RTP for various supplementary services that can be invoked on the end points. Transcoder resources are used to perform SRTP-RTP conversion on Cisco UBE. When the call switches between SRTP and RTP, the transcoder is dynamically inserted, deleted, or modified. Both normal transcoding and high-density (optimized) transcoding are supported.
For call transfers involving REFER and 302 messages (messages that are locally consumed on Cisco UBE), end-to-end media renegotiation is initiated from Cisco UBE only when you configure the supplementary-service media-renegotiate command in voice service voip configuration mode.
When supplementary services are invoked from the end points, the call can switch between SRTP and RTP during the call duration. Hence, Cisco recommends that you configure such SIP trunks for SRTP fallback.
