[asterisk-users] Networking Question

[Alexander Lopez]

A few questions for you:

 

Where is your DNS Server for your LAN located by using the 172.17.x.x
address I suppose there is more to your network than two segments,
(Asterisk may drop connections if it has a problem with DNS)

 

How are your Polycom phones configured? Are they using a ftp/tftp server
to get the configs, or are they configured one by one via the web
interface? (Once again loosing DNS service if you are using hostnames on
the phone configs would cause the phone not to be able to reach the *
server)

I have an Asterisk server running REL 4 with two NICs. One NIC has a
192.168.1.x IP address and is connected to a POE switch with Polycom
phones that have 192.168.1.x IP addresses.

 

The other NIC has a 172.17.x.x IP address connected to a router.  The
router is connected to the Internet.

 

If the Internet goes down or the cable between the 172.17.x.x. NIC is
disconnected, the phones start to lose their connection to asterisk.
Why?  What have I screwed up?

 

Thanks,
Brian
