Configure authentication parameters (optional)
The gateway can authenticate itself to a SIP server, if the required credentials are configured using the proce-
dure described in this section. You can add multiple sets of authentication credentials. The gateway will use a
set of authentication credentials only, if the realm of the set matches the realm of the challenge from the SIP
server. The gateway always uses the set of credentials, which contains the same username as the local SIP URI
of the SIP session. If there is no set of credentials, which contains the username found in the local SIP URI, the
gateway will use the set of credentials for the challenged realm, which is tagged with the 'default' parameter. If
no set of credentials with the 'default' parameter is available, the authentication will fail.
Mode: Gateway SIP
Step
1
node (gw- sip )[ sip ]#authentication realm user-
name password [default]
2
Example: Defining authentication credentials
The following example shows how to add a set of authentication credentials for realm MySipNetwork, which
uses the username Bob and the password MyPassword for any request message, for which the server requests
authentication.
SN(cfg)#gateway sip sip
SN(gw-sip)[sip]#authentication MySipNetwork Bob MyPassword default

Enable the session timer (optional)

The gateway implements the SIP session timer feature, which is currently only defined in SIP draft standards.
The session timer feature allows a gateway to check periodically during a call, if the remote gateway is still alive
and if the call is still connected on the remote gateway. You can enable this feature using the command shown
below. If the session timer feature detects that the call is no longer connected on the remote side, it will also
drop the call locally.
Gateway configuration task list
Command
39 • SIP gateway configuration
Purpose
Add an authentication entry for a user.
Realm is the name of the authentication realm
as defined on the SIP server, which requests
authentication.
Username and Password are the credentials
to be used for authentication.
The default parameter indicates that this set of
credentials should also be used, if the user-
name does not match the username of the
local SIP URI. There is only one default set of
credentials allowed for each realm.
Repeat step 1 for any additional authentica-
tion credentials you need to add.
