I see no reason to forward ports 10000 and 3478 - the whole point of
STUN (Simple Traversal of UDP through NAT) is to allow traffic through
the NAT router without forwarding ports. If you have to forward ports
for STUN then STUN isn't working!
In other words, if you have to forward ports, don't bother with those two.
There is also no reason to forward both 5004 and port 8000 - most
hardware device use 5004, x-lite uses 8000, but only the one that you
want to use has to be forwarded at the router.
So, for the first phone on the network, these are your ports to forward:
Port 5060
Port 5004 *OR* port 8000
The user can choose these ports, for a second line convention dictates
adding 1 to the standard ports. Just make sure you set the same numbers
in the phone and at the router! If STUN is working then you shouldn't
have to forward any ports at all.
