      Hi,

      I have a couple of polycom soundpoint 650 inside my 2 networks which are both behind pfsense.

      My network looks like this:

      SITE A SIPX –> PFSENSE --> CISCO -->  |||| VIA GRE TUNNEL  |||| <-- CISCO <-- PFSENSE <-- SIPX SITEB

      I use Cisco IPSEC GRE Tunnel for this purpose.

      I set the pfsense to Manual Outbound NAT rule generation (Advanced Outbound NAT (AON))

      My NAT rules:
      WAN     172.16.3.0/24   *   *   *   *   *   YES    (VLAN SUBNET)
      WAN    172.16.1.0/24  *  *  *  *  *  YES    (PFSENSE/CISCO SUBNET)

      Create 3 firewall rules in pfSense (FOR WAN/VLAN):

      * Action: Pass
         * Interface: WAN
         * Protocol: UDP
         * Source: any
         * Destination: WAN address
         * Destination port range: 5080

      * Action: Pass
         * Interface: WAN
         * Protocol: TCP/UDP
         * Source: any
         * Destination: WAN address
         * Destination port range: 5060

      * Action: Pass
         * Interface: WAN
         * Protocol: TCP/UDP
         * Source: any
         * Destination: WAN address
         * Destination port range: 30000 – 31000

      I can connect via IPSEC GRE Tunnel and can route on each sites. I can ring the phones but if you pickup you can't hear voice from the user.

      My questions are:
      1. Could this be a firewall problem? Any other ports to open in order to establish the voice?
      2. Is it required to pass gre protocol even if I have GRE tunnel established?
      3. I can establish a call using xlite on each site but not on a hard phone.

      I also made an ACL in cisco to open 5060(UDP/TCP) but it's no use.

      I will greatly appreciate any inputs here.

      Thank you in advance.
