This document uses numeric IP addresses for all SIP end points. SIP addresses can also use domain names instead of addresses. For the example, the following SIP addresses could refer to the same SIP end point:

inviter@10.31.101.20
inviter@example.com

Before you begin

Before you begin to configure VoIP security profiles, including SIP, from the GUI you should go to System > Feature Visibility and turn on VoIP (under Additional Features).

Also, VoIP settings are only available if the FortiGate or current VDOM Inspection Mode is set to Proxy. To view the inspection mode go to System > Settings to confirm that Inspection Mode is set to Proxy. You can also use the following CLI command to change the inspection mode to proxy:

config system settings

set inspection-mode proxy

end

The System Information dashboard widget also shows the current Mode.
