[Serusers] Illegal redirection - sr-users

15 Nov 2005


      Hello
I have two Cisco 7940 phones with private addresses (10.0.11.239 and 
10.0.11.140) connected to SER also with private address (10.0.0.135), 
but in another network.
My SER is with the default configuration.
Between the networks I have a Checkpoint Firewall-1NG
The Cisco IP phones can register because the REGISTER packets arent blocked.
But the INVITEs never reach SER (I checked with ngrep), because the 
Firewall drops them, saying there was an illegal redirection.
The most strange part, is that, when I try to make a phone call from 
PhoneA(10.0.11.239) to PhoneB(10.0.11.240), the INVITE is dropped before 
reaching SER, and it says "Illegal redirection 10.0.0.135->10.0.11.240". 
How can the firewall know that the INVITE was going to be redirected by 
SER to PhoneB(10.0.11.240) ????
