[cisco-voip] After upgrade to 8.6.2a one way audio for some calls-No codec selected!

With every major CUCM version there comes the possibility of SCCP version increments.  With new features comes new SCCP messages or even changes to existing messages.  Any change like that requires testing and upgrades by any device doing inspection on the protocol and those tend to lag the CUCM releases.

Hi Mike,
i have completely disabled inspection on an ASA that i have that does only routing.
The question is: has something changed in SCCP negotiation in CUCM 8.6?
The whole setup has been working for 3 years!!

> This may have already been mentioned but building on what Ryan said... probably between 6.1(2) and 8.6.x you had a firmware change, probably from around 8.4ish to 9.x. The sccp version changes, and it sounds like you might have some firewall/security device in the way that is not opening the ports because it is used to the older version of skinny.

You can get a simultaneous packet capture at the phone and cucm to make sure every packet leaving the server gets to the phone (intact).
