Configuring NAT Mapping with STUN
If the ITSP network does not provide a Session Border Controller functionality, and
if other requirements are met, it is possible to use STUN as a mechanism to
discover the NAT mapping. This option is considered a practice of last resort and
should be used only if the other methods are unavailable.
Requirements
• STUN is a viable option only if your router uses asymmetric NAT. See
“Determining Whether the Router Uses Symmetric or Asymmetric NAT,” on
page 114.
• You must have a computer running STUN server software. You can use a public
STUN server or set up your own STUN server.
NOTE Use NAT mapping only if the ITSP network does not provide a Session Border
Controller functionality.
STEP 1 Log in to the configuration utility.

STEP 3 Click the SIP tab.
