[Asterisk-Users] BLF not working after reload

[Douglas Garstang]

If you do a 'reload' in Asterisk, it deletes all the sip subscriptions. Do a 'sip show subscriptions' before and after a reload command. They will disappear. I've been bitching about this for a while, and asking why subscriptions can't be stored in astdb like registrations.

If you reboot the phone, it sends the SIP SUBSCRIBE message to Asterisk again, which remembers it until the next reload. If you reboot the Astrisk server, you obviously lose it as well, because Asterisk is storing them in memory (not astdb).

One workaround, is to not issue 'reload' commands. Just reload the module you've changed. I think reloading SIP will delete the subscriptions. For example, if you change the dial plan just issue an 'extensions reload'. Your subscriptions should remain.

Lets just hope it's a long time for you between alternations to sip.conf!

Doug

Hi there,

I am running Asterisk 1.2.  I have a Grandstream GXP2000 and Aastra 9133i
with BLF/Speedial configured for other extensions.  The hint's are all
configured in extensions.conf and it seems to work as it is supposed to
until I reload the configuration in Asterisk or reboot the server.  Then
neither phone displays the BLF of other extensions until I reboot the phone.
It continues working until  the server is rebooted or the configuration is
reloaded.  I tried leaving it running for awhile allowing the phones to
re-register but nothing works except rebooting the phones.  

Since I am using two completely different phones it must be my Asterisk
configuration.
