[Asterisk-Users] Securing Cisco SIP gateway

[B. J. Bomar]

I too am attempting to lock down a Cisco gateway.  I have been trying to use
the voice source-group command.  This is what I currently have.

voice source-group test
 access-list 61
 disconnect-cause call-reject
!
access-list 61 permit 10.1.1.2
access-list 61 permit 10.1.1.3
access-list 61 deny   any

The problem I am seeing is that this config blocks all inbound calls,
including those from the permitted IP addresses.  I have a TAC case opened
up with Cisco, but they have not been very helpful yet.  If I hear anything
from Cisco, I will let the list know.  Maybe there is someone out there that
has gotten this to work.

Hello asterisk community,

I have successfully set up asterisk as a SIP PBX and now would like to 
connect to the outside world using a Cisco 2600 with VIC-BRI as an ISDN 
gateway. This works already in the lab, but I have security concerns 
before conecting the gateway to the internet.

I currently don't know exactly what VoIP services the Cisco runs by 
default besides SIP (H.323, MGCP, ...) and which IP ports it accepts 
call setup requests on for the different protocols. What makes it worse 
is that the Cisco accepts these requests on all IPs of any of its 
interfaces.

What I want to do is lock the gateway Cisco down to only accept SIP 
sessions and only via the asterisk box as a signalling and rtp proxy - 
either by an access-list or some authentication mechanism. Per-client 
access-control to the PSTN will then handled by asterisks dialplan.

I am quite sure someone has done this successfully before and would very 
much appreciate any hints how to do this best.

Many thanks and
kind regards,

Jan Baumann
