Use the Ice window to set ICE parameters for a SIP trunk group. Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) is a protocol for Network Address Translator (NAT) traversal for multimedia sessions established with the offer/answer model. ICE uses the Session Traversal Utilities for NAT (STUN) protocol and its extension that is, Traversal Using Relay NAT (TURN). ICE uses STUN and TURN servers to overcome network address translation issues that can occur when an endpoint is situated behind a NAT device.

Note

This section controls only the IP type (IPv4 and IPv6) negotiations in the ICE protocol. Enable Ice Support on Services - NAT Traversal for SBC to consider ICE processing on a call leg.

To View and Edit ICE IP Address Type Negotiation Preference

On the SBC main screen, go to All > Address Context > Zone > SIP Trunk Group > Media > Ice. The Ice window is displayed.

Note

The ICE parameters are displayed only when the parameter  Media Addr Type for the SIP Trunk Group is defined as IPv4 and IPv6 and NAT Traversal Ice Support is selected on the corresponding SIP Trunk Group.

Use the drop-down boxes  to select the desired Address Context, Zone and SIP Trunk Group.

The Edit Ice window is displayed.
