Table 1 SIP Stack General Settings
|
|
|
SIP Header Compaction |
Whether or not to enable SIP header compaction. When enabled, compact header forms are used for the following SIP headers:
- Call-ID
- Contact
- Content-Encoding
- Content-Length
- Content-Type
- From
- Subject
- To
- Via
When header compaction is disabled, complete SIP headers are used in all outgoing messages, regardless of the header format. |
SIP Message Logging |
Whether or not to enable the logging of all incoming and outgoing SIP messages. Note Turning on SIP logging has a significant performance impact on Cisco Unified SIP Proxy. |
SIP Statistics |
Whether to display statistics for active SIP queues. |
Period Time |
(Optional, only available if you check SIP Statistics) Determines how often to collect the peg-logging statistics. |
Reset Time |
(Optional, only available if you check SIP Statistics) Determines how often to reset the peg-logging statistics. |
Max Forwards |
Specifies the maximum number of times that a request can be forwarded to another server. Each time a request is received by a server, this value is decremented by one. (If the request does not have a Max Forwards header, one is added.) When the value reaches zero, the server responds with a 483 (too many hops) response and terminates the transaction. You can use the Max Forwards header field to detect forwarding loops within a network. The allowed values are 0 to 255. The default value is 70. Note We recommend that you set this command to a value greater than or equal to 10, and less than or equal to 100. |
|
Reject |
Configures the server to send a 503 (Server Unavailable) response when the server is overloaded. |
Retry After |
(Optional, only available if you choose Reject) The number of seconds sent in the SIP Retry-After header field of the 503 (Server Unavailable) response, which indicates when the sender can attempt the transaction again. If not specified, the 503 (Server Unavailable) response does not contain a Retry-After header field. The minimum value allowed is 0. The default value is 0. |
Redirect |
Configures the server to send a 300 (Redirect) response when the server is overloaded. |
IP Address |
(Optional, only available if you choose Redirect) The redirect interface host name or IP address sent in the SIP Contact header field. Subsequent requests will be redirected to the server at this address. |
Port |
(Optional, only available if you choose Redirect) The port of the redirect host. The valid range is from 1024 to 65535. The default is 5060. |
Transport Type |
(Optional, only available if you choose Redirect) The transport protocol used by the redirect host. Can be UDP, TCP, or TLS. |
|
DNS SRV Lookups |
Configures SIP DNS SRV lookup commands. |
DNS NAPTR Lookups |
Enables the use of DNS NAPTR for domain hostname/IP address mapping. |
|
Idle Connection Timeout |
Configures the amount of idle time that is allowed to pass before sending a keep-alive probe. |
Maximum Connections |
Configures the maximum number of TCP/TLS connections. When the maximum number of TCP/TLS connections is reached, passive (incoming) connections are not accepted, and additional active (outgoing) connections can be made. |
|
TLS Settings |
Enables the use of SIP Transport Layer Security (TLS) connections with other SIP entities, providing secure communication over the Internet. Can be either enabled or disabled. |
TLS Setup Connection Timeout |
It is the time specified in Cisco Unified SIP Proxy by the user to establish connection with the trusted peer. The default value is 1 second. The range of values is 1 to 60 seconds. |

Adding and Deleting a Trusted Peer
This procedure creates one or more SIP TLS trusted peers. The establishment of TLS connections fails unless the identity of the remote side matches the identifier of a configured trusted peer. If there are no trusted peers configured, the connection is accepted as long as the TLS handshake succeeds.
Procedure
Step 1
Choose Configure > SIP Stack > TLS Trusted Peers.
The system displays the TLS Trusted Peers page with the TLS Trusted Peers tab highlighted.
Step 2
To add a TLS trusted peer, do the following:
a.
Enter a name.
b.
Click Add Trusted Peer.
Step 3
To delete a TLS trusted peer, do the following:
a.
Check the check box next to the name of the TLS trusted peer to delete.
b.
Click Remove.
