Remote IP Pones eithout VPN 2

[RichmondBailey]

Has anyone been successful in remotely deploying 2004 IP phones on a BCM 400 Rel. 4.0 without using VPN tunneling? If so, how did you do it?

We have tried with the following results: Phones register with the BCM and boot up correctly; we can dial all types of calls; but we get NO talk path (nothing can be heard by either party).

Thanks for your input!

Thats probably because your default gateway is on an internal subnet with LAN 1 and your LAN 2 is on a public IP
which your external IP sets are registered to.
Fix is to change your gateway but this is a bad solution as im sure you know.

you need to configure the static routes on the BCM. The phone will connect with the bcm because you told it what ip to look for, but the phone is a mystery to the bcm.

LAN 1 is on an internal network that has a router that is NAT to a public IP address for the BCM. LAN 2 is not connected.

According to snifs the BCM responds to the phones via the remote private IP address

How do I configure a static route on the BCM?

Richmond, I am having the same issue but have it setup similar to the way BelAir has described it. So BelAir, should the default gateway for the internal be LAN 2 on the BCM or should it be the public gateway? Also, should the internal or public IP address be the published IP?

It depends if you have IP sets registered locally behing the firewall you will have to leave it alone or you will loose speach path for internal IP sets.
If all you have are external IPsets on the WAN then go ahead and change it to the public IP gateway.
But this is not a good idea to have your BCM with a public IP as your BCM is open to the public.

No I agree that it is a bad idea but some people don't really care jsut to save a buck. So if there are internal and remote IP phones how would that work?
