Im having problems setting up a trunk between two locations. Heres the
setup I have:
Server A is connected to the PSTN at my datacenter
Server B is connected to a clients e1 line at his datacenter
I only want to route calls from Server B to Server A and out through the
PSTN. Server A has a lot of other things connecting to it, so I need a
very specific context for all calls to go through. Because of the volume
of calls between the two servers I wish to setup a trunk.
Server A has this entry in iax.conf
[serverb]
type=friend
host=serverbipaddress
trunk=yes
auth=md5,plaintext,rsa
secret=s3rv3rb
username=serverb
context=serverb
qualify=yes
Server B doesnt have much in iax.conf - only codec and port information
under [general]
Server B is using this in his extensions.conf though:
exten => _X.,1,Dial,IAX2/serverb:s3rv3rb@serveraipaddress/${EXTEN}|180
now i know some things are wrong, i know i can use type=peer because its
only a one way connection (im not making calls to serverb, only recieving
calls from it)
but when i do an iax2 trunk debug i get this:
IAX2 Trunk Debug Requested
Beginning trunk processing
Processed trunk peer 'serverb' (0.0.0.0:0) with 0 call(s)
Ending trunk processing with 1 peers and 0 calls processed
even though there are calls going between the servers - so obviously they
arent using the trunking facility. so whats the deal. what do i have to
do in iax.conf on both sides and in extensions.conf on the side of ServerB
thanks in advance

Look at the iax.conf.sample in the Asterisk source directory. Maybe the Handbook is wrong. If so, report it to bugs.digium.com.

If so, report it to bugs.digium.com.from my iax.conf.sample ; ;[biggateway] ;type=peer ;host=192.168.0.1 ;secret=myscret ;trunk=yes ; Use IAX2 trunking with this host ; trunk=yes, not trunking=yes can anyone verify this? maybe its an update that has changed over time. duncan
