I have 2 Asterisk Server, the german server (GER) with a static IP and the Server (SA) in Saudi Arabia with dynamic IP adress. For the SA server I am using a domain service from no-ip.org. Each server internal are using sip. Sever to Server IAX2. I have made in SA a portforwarding in my router to the asterisk server 4569 TCP and UDP. Both servers are connected everything is working well. But after 3 or 4 hours, the servers are dicconnected. The WAN IP adress has NOT changed on Server SA. IAX2 reload on both servers without result. I get the message: “request send” or “Time out” on both servers. The firewall on both servers are disabled. When I reset my router, it works well for 3 or 4 hours again. If my system is working and I disconnet the ADSL cable to my ISP, wait for one minute, I get a new WAN IP adress. After my no-ip Client update my WAN IP-adress, both servers are connected. In this case I have not to reboot my router.
What´s happend when they are disconnected after 3 hours and each server coudn´t found each other?
thx. Michael
suggestion- instead of using no-ip, register the servers. set them both as friends, and add a register => statement to the SA server’s iax.conf file. That will make it register itself to the other server, which will update in realtime (not no-ip). then in iax.conf on the german server, set the SA server to be host=dynamic.
if that doesn’t help, make sure your routers are not dropping mappings…
thx. for your reply. But it doesn´t help. Both host are dynamic
host=dynamic
Cheers

if the german box has a static ip then you can use that.
on the SA box, defining the german peer, set host=itsipaddress. then register to that.
on the german box for the SA peer- leave host=dynamic and type=friend
this way the SA box will always register to the german box and they stay connected
thanks again, I have changed the setings to:
Server in Saudiarbia (dyn.IP)
[location60_SA]
type=peer
username=location60_SA
auth=md5
secret=PWD
host=staticIP-from germanSever
context=default
before it was:
[location60_SA]
type=friend
username=location60_SA
auth=md5
secret=PWD
host=dynamic
context=default
Do you think it´s right? I come back to you. In Asia was a earth quake, which destroy some Internet cables, we have also problems with the bandwith at hte moment.

yes that is right. now add at the top in the general section:
register => location60_SA:YOURPASSWORDHERE@location60_SA
sorry now I am totaly confuse, this is add at the german server
not at the SA Server
register => location60_SA:YOURPASSWORDHERE@location60_SA
Cheers

hi…!!!
my opinion is that you should do as follows :
(Server at saudi arabia)
Register => iax2/server_sa:yourpassword@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (ip of germany’s server)
[server_ger] ; so that server germany can log in to saudi arab server
type=friend
username=server_ger
auth=md5
secret=PWD
host=staticip ; ip of germany’s sever
context=default
(Server at Germany)
; no need to register
[server_sa] ; account for saudi arabs server to log in germany’s server
type=friend
username=server_sa
secret=yourpassword ; incase of md5 use md5 authorization pattern.
host=dynamic
context=default
—-----------
I hope this would work…
cheers
