Well, what are you trying to do exactly?

SIP trunks?

IAX trunks?

Remote agents?

What kind of firewall?

[williamconley]

do you have a firewall that can handle two static ips and forward them to different machines? or do you have two routers?

if not, you'll only be using one of those ips and that means only one port 80 ...

but the standard ports to forward are 5060 (SIP), 10000-20000 (SIP return), 4569(IAX), 80(HTTP), 22(SSH ... but map it externally to some OTHER number, never put 22 on the net, so 22 internal to XXX external IF you need SSH access outside your building)

80 is HTTP (Web) if you want people to surf to your windows box (if it's a web server) and your vicidial box, you'll need two routers or a router capable of mapping both IPs to different boxes. Either that or you'll have to use another port for http on one of them.

Is there any list of open ports and protocols that needs to be opened in firewall for the vicidial to work properly as SIP Trunk?
Then we could check and confirm if all the required ports and protocol are allowed through the firewall.

That's an Asterisk Question rather than a Vicidial Question. If you had searched google for "Asterisk Open Ports for Inbound Calls" you'd have found something like:

Forward/open UDP port 5060 (This is the SIP Call Control port)
Forward/open UDP port range 10000->25000 (This is the audio port range)

* you should ONLY open these to the IPs of those you want to talk to. Not the world.
* Opening all ports for testing is fine, just remember that after a couple hours ... watch out.
* If you "forward" port 5060 through a shared firewall to your asterisk server, and have more than one asterisk server, only ONE will be able to receive those calls. Since there's only one port 5060.
* It is possible to change the SIP control port (5060), but anyone who does so should be very vocal about it and let you know the new port. Since you'll not only have to open that new port, you'll also have to modify your asterisk to listen on and/or send to that new port.
* If someone changes from port 5060 to another port, that doesn't mean both ends of the call are on the new port. Their port and your port are independent of each other. So they could say that they are listening on port 5061 OR they could say that they want to Send To port 5061.
* Custom ports for SIP call control are very unusual, though.
