SCN Down in system status

I'm not very familar with Avaya phone systems but an Avaya tech is telling me that my firewall is filtering the traffic thus the SCN is showing down in the system status.

This is a site to site VPN. The system status on one end shows that the remote end is DOWN. There is no filtering in place. I can browse the network, I can port scan across but it still shows down.

I have an ASA at one end and a PIX on the other.

Any ideas?
 
in the ASA put in

No Inspect H323 H225
No inspect H323 RAS
same for the pix except replace inspect with fixup unless the PIX has newer firmware then it could be inspect

Thanks kwing

I tried that but still shows down.

I can ping back and forth and a port scan shows onlly 80 443 1720 and 5060 open on both sides. Even when I scan locally.

Any other suggestions?
 
What IPO hardware do you have? if 500's do you have voice networking licenses?

I'm asking the tech to confirm but under license it says IP500 Voice Networking Channels

Available 4
In use 0
Valid

It helps to say, apparently it was working for a day then over the weekend it no longer worked. They restarted the ASA but the config looks like it is supposed to look.

The VPN tunnel is up.
 
The remote site is running an IP Office 500 V2 with release 6.1.20 on it and the HQ site is running an IP Office 406 V2 with release 6.1.12 on it.


It is working on the other sites connected to the HQ
 
The trunk on HQ shows that its up but the trunk at the remote site says down.


HQ has the pix, remote site has the ASA
 
something is blocking traffic 1 way.

it's a site to site vpn. Nothing is in the way. Switch > ASA > router > MPLS CLOUD > router > pix > router >switch


the VPN should by pass it all.

is there a way to "reset" the SCN on the remote site?
 
is there any need to run a VPN on your MPLS?

can you use manager to to remotely manage both switches from the one location? also, does monitor (Status / Small Comm network option) show the SCN alive?

the only way to reset is to reboot. Maybe check your IP routes. if you only have the default 0.0.0.0 route maybe create a new route for you remote IPO and see if it helps. is there a reason you have VPN over mpls?

I had a similar issue with a 7.0. I rebooted and life was good.

It's only dialtone!!!
 
I can ping back and forth and a port scan shows onlly 80 443 1720 and 5060 open on both sides. Even when I scan locally.

Open these ports too:

BAZINGA!

I'm not insane, my mother had me tested!
 
Thanks everyone for the great suggestions!

After reading over the configs and looking at manuals, I asked the tech to recreate the h323 trunk and it worked after that!

They said they had already rebooted it before..

I'm just glad its working. So recreating the trunk fixed the problem.
 
>is there any need to run a VPN on your MPLS

Yes, MPLS is shared environment...

Take Care

I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
My wish has come true. I no longer know how to use my telephone.
 
Sorry, yeah MPLS is shared between various health clinics exchange private client data.
