A parameter to force a SIP trunk to always retry to connec

Asterisk Asterisk Support

Hi,

I have a somewhat problematic SIP trunk that goes down from time to time because it refuses the password. The password is correct and it eventually connects so I can only assume it is a glitch in the system.

Right now, it stops trying on wrong password and I have to manually SSH into the Asterisk server and force a reload to reconnect the trunk.

I would like to know if there is a parameter to tell Asterisk to keep trying (re)registering until it succeeds and ignore any registration errors.

Thanks,

This problem seems very similar ta a problem I had a while back.

I did not find any solution for this. The problem was resolved by upgrading the internet connection so it was more stable.

What version of Asterisk are you running?

If there is no parameter in Asterisk that does what you want, you can always write a cron job script that periodically checks the “sip show registry” status and does “sip reload” if the SIP registration to the provider fails.
