2.1 SIP Signaling: IP Address Ranges

The Cisco CUBE Router will initiate communication with the following FQDNs:

  • sip.pstnhub.microsoft.com – Global FQDN
  • sip2.pstnhub.microsoft.com – Secondary FQDN
  • sip3.pstnhub.microsoft.com – Tertiary FQDN

These FQDNs resolve to IP addresses within the following subnets:

  • 52.112.0.0/14
  • 52.122.0.0/14

2.2 SIP Signaling: Ports

The port ranges for SIP signaling are as follows:
