[Asterisk-bsd] Host is down Error

[John S. Strock]

I think the error has fixed itself.  When I logged in to perform sip show
peers, I didn't receive any more of the errors, so I increased verbosity and
waited a while and still nothing, it appears to be fixed.

 

Thanks again,

 

John

Hi John,

Here's what my sip.conf looks like:

 

[PC1]

type=friend

secret=PC1

callerid="Computer #1" <201>

host=dynamic

regexten=201

nat=yes

canreinvite=no

mailbox=201 at default

qualify=yes

 

I just copy and paste this (and change the appropriate info) for each phone.
One thing I just though of is that after setting up all the phones, I
decided to change the ID to the extension i.e. from [PC1] to [201], I wonder
if that has something to do with it?


Did you reload/restart since you did that?

Regarding the error coming from FreeBSD, I'm not sure if that would be the
case since I only see this error in the Asterisk CLI.


It's a FreeBSD error, but would be reported by the application, in this
case, asterisk. It's really a Network error, but since Unix handles the
networking part, I'd consider this the OS telling you something. 

It looks like the phones may be registered on the old addresses. Are you
able to call from the phones to asterisk? (Voicemail, the demo, etc?) My
guess is that might be the issue, at this point.

Post back what "sip show peers" says. 

I would say that you should pick a naming scheme and stick with it; in 2
years, you'll forget differences between [PC1] and [201] in various parts of
your config files, and it'll be harder to find stuff. (Unless you are using
a script to generate everything). 

Thanks,
Gerald.
