Dual NIC's

A am trying to use two NIC’s with Asterisk 1.6.2 as eth0 and eth1. Both networks have SIP devices. I can’t get both to work with SIP at the same time (though web serving, ssh etc are ok). bindaddr 0.0.0.0 only has eth0 working. I can bindaddr for eth1 and it works, but then I lose all the devices on eth0.

I am following these directions from edgemarc exactly,…
portal.knowledgebase.net/display … aid=306414

To simplify I have also tried putting eth1 directly on the internet with its public IP.

Any idea how to use two nics with sip on asterisk at the same time?

Hi

It should just work. they are on different subnets ? and you have set the externip ?
also what does route show you as well as netstat -a |grep 5060 ?

Yes extern ip is x.x.x.163 eth0 is 10.0.0.10 and eth1 is a public ip of x.x.x.163. eth0 can also get to the internet via the router which is x.164 on the WAN side an 10.0.0.1 on the lan side.

route:

Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface x.x.x.160 * 255.255.255.240 U 0 0 0 eth1 10.0.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 default 10.0.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0

netstat -a |grep 5060 shows nothing…?

If I set the bindaddr to x.x.x.163 my external phones work on eth1, but my internal phones on eth0 stop working. If I set the bindaddr to 0.0.0.0 then it’s the other way around.

It would seem that I have figured this one out… the default route needs to be set for the NIC with the public IP:

Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface <public IP>* 255.255.255.240 U 0 0 0 eth0 10.0.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 default <public IP gateway> 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0

I am running into a similar problem but my setup is a little different. I dont have or need NATing
My setup is as follows:

Phone(X.X.141.32)----(Y.Y.47.149)local-intf-|Asterisk|external-intf(Z.Z.247.106)--------(w.w.158.26)ISP-SIP-Server)----OutsideWorld

I am able to set a call and I have the audio coming from the outside world to my phone but the audio from my Phone IP(X.X)
is not going out to the SIP-Server. In fact I think it is not even reaching the Asterisk server. Here is the reason why?

The SDP in the 180 going to the phone has the IP address of the external-inf(Z.Z)

<--- Transmitting (NAT) to X.X.141.32:5060 ---> SIP/2.0 183 Session Progress^M Via: SIP/2.0/UDP X.X.141.32;branch=z9hG4bK87468d20000002f44b86a00400006f2b00000166;received=X.X.141.32;rport=5060^M From: "Irfan Lateef" <sip:2005@Y.Y.47.149>;tag=327f290e2e7^M To: <sip:99084611234@Y.Y.47.149>;tag=as24228e21^M Call-ID: 876BAA6B36F644F7B4EF7BE5D4B7E8BD0x87468d20^M CSeq: 2 INVITE^M User-Agent: Asterisk PBX 1.6.0.17^M Allow: INVITE, ACK, CANCEL, OPTIONS, BYE, REFER, SUBSCRIBE, NOTIFY, INFO^M Supported: replaces, timer^M Require: timer^M Session-Expires: -1;refresher=uas^M Contact: <sip:99084611234@Z.Z.247.106>^M Content-Type: application/sdp^M Content-Length: 315^M ^M v=0^M o=root 1021147583 1021147583 IN IP4 Z.Z.247.106^M s=Asterisk PBX 1.6.0.17^M [b]c=IN IP4 Z.Z.247.106[/b]^M t=0 0^M m=audio 18702 RTP/AVP 0 8 3 101^M

I have the following in the sip_nat.conf

localnet=Y.Y.47.149/255.255.0.0 externhost=Z.Z.247.106 externrefresh=10 fromdomain=att.com nat=yes qualify=yes canreinvite=no

I think the SDP should have give the Y.Y.47.149 IP on the local net side to the phone. But I am unable to figure how make it do that.

The Asterisk log shows this.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Folks,

I fixed the problem myself. I posted the solution on asterisk-users list.
