Hi<br />
<br />
I am trying to configure my sonicwall tz 105 for some remote VOIP phones, the phone company says I need to forward ports 5060 and 8000 to the phone system which I have done they are also saying the following<br />
<br />
ports 1024-1087 should be udp ports<br />
<br />
Not sure what they mean here or how to do it. <br />
<br />
Any ideas on what they mean ( I am not sure they know). Or if there is anything else I coould try I would appreciate it.<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />
<br />

How to set udp ports on sonicwall firewall

Voice over IP (VoIP) is a methodology and group of technologies for the delivery of voice communications and multimedia sessions over Internet Protocol (IP) networks, such as the Internet. Other terms commonly associated with VoIP are IP telephony, Internet telephony, broadband telephony, and broadband phone service. The term specifically refers to the provisioning of communications services (voice, fax, SMS, voice-messaging) over the public Internet, rather than via the public switched telephone network (PSTN).  Examples of the VoIP protocols are H.323, Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP), Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), H.248 (also known as Media Gateway Control (Megaco)), Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP), Real-time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP), Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP), Session Description Protocol (SDP), and Inter-Asterisk eXchange (IAX).

Voice Over IP

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.
