I have searched the community for the problem I am having (string: pre-generated session) and have found a number of unanswered questions regarding a similar issue to mine. Any assistance would accordingly be widely appreciated.
Platform: Cisco 877 ADSL Router
Software Version: C870 Software (C870-ADVIPSERVICESK9-M), Version 12.4(24)T1
Connectivity Problem Description:
When the ISP resets the router ip address, ATM0 goes up and down and a new
address is acquired, the Lynksys SPA9000 is subsequently unable to register with the SIP
server. When the nat session is cleared the SPA9000 registers fine and all is OK until
the next ISP reset.
Diagnostics:
1. The IOS firewall pre-generates a new session with the new global source address
2. the NAT session between the old source IP address and the Sipgate server persists.
3. When I clear ip nat trans *, the problem is resolved, the pre-gen session disappears
and the SPA9000 resigsters.
How do I configure to make sure the old NAT session times out itself when the new
source IP address is acquired?
Setting the default NAT TCP timeout to less than 24 hrs may provide a solution but
it will not resolve the problem. UDP NAT timeout is short, so this is possibly not
the problem.
I would be most grateful if you could suggest what may be sustaining the 'false' NAT session
with the old source IP address. It is almost as if the firewall is proxying this session?
