I have a bit of a generic question to the community in regards to Aruba's layer 3 switching solutions.
I am predominately a VoIP engineer but working with a campus networking team who use mostly HP Aruba internally for switching.
I am investigating an issue where traffic on port 5060 UDP is being blocked all of a sudden and I am pretty certain the un-mentioned firewalls in the attached diagram has closed the port since a Wireshark capture pretty much confirms this - I do however want to rule out the L3 switch.
A change to TCP for port 5060 SIP signalling fixes the issue, but that is not the point.
What I want to confirm is - there is a layer 3 Aruba core switch between one end of the VPN connection and the PBX - I have a fair bit of expereience and knowledge with L2 switching for VoIP but not so much L3/Core - so this is my question:
Since the switch is layer 3 it has routing capabilities, but does it also have the means to block certain traffic types ? this guide here although outdated (Lync is pretty old now) suggests some sorts of ACL's are required: https://www.arubanetworks.com/techdocs/ArubaOS_63_Web_Help/Content/ArubaFrameStyles/Voice_Video/Extended_Voice_and_Video.htm
Any advise or even command line configuration would be appreciated.
