Cisco Cisco Expressway Maintenance Manual
The following diagram shows the media flows and typical port usage on the Expressway-E and Expressway-
C. The TURN server on the Expressway-E relays the media between the Jabber Guest client and the
B2BUA on the Expressway-C, and the media also flows between the B2BUA and the internal endpoint.

** The default media traversal port range is 36000 to 59999, and is set on the Expressway-C at
Configuration > Traversal Subzone
. In Large Expressway systems the first 12 ports in the range – 36000
to 36011 by default – are always reserved for multiplexed traffic. The Expressway-E listens on these ports.
You cannot configure a distinct range of demultiplex listening ports on Large systems: they always use the
first 6 pairs in the media port range. On Small/Medium systems you can explicitly specify which 2 ports listen
for multiplexed RTP/RTCP traffic, on the Expressway-E (

Troubleshooting Jabber Guest services on Expressway
Packet loss on calls
Check if the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) on Expressway-E is too high. We recommended that you
lower the MTU size on the relevant network interfaces from 1500 to 1400 bytes.
