Having problems with "Sticky NAT"
-
I'm running PFSense 2.0.2-RELEASE (amd64) and I'm having problems getting "Sticky NAT" to work. Under Firewall -> NAT -> Outbound I have the following defined in the attachment. Am I doing something wrong here? The port I'm seeing keeps changing on my hosted phones causing calls to behave strangely if the port for registration changes in the middle of a phone call.

I should mention that these are SIP phones Polycoms to be exact.

Well I'm at my wits end with this. I deleted all rules rules pertaining to "Outbound NAT" for the Polycom SIP phones and rebuilt them but the same behavior is showing up. Any input here would be appreciated.

Since I'm running SIP phones do I need to install the package sipproxd to get the ports to stop changing?

It's called "static port NAT".

The port I'm seeing keeps changing on my hosted phones causing calls to behave strangely if the port for registration changes in the middle of a phone call.
If port mapping changes in the middle of a phone call, it suggests that the NAT gateway may have expired that state. You should try tuning the qualifyfreq interval.
