4. UA (phone), gateway or other hardware/software involved: NA

5. Your problem:

We would like to know if there is a limit on BSS to accommodate on total number of physical interfaces configured on the server?

If I have 6 interfaces configured on the server and i want to use 5 interfaces:

net.bind.interface = 1.1.1.1

net.net1.interface = 1.1.1.1
net.net2.interface = 2.1.1.1
net.net3.interface = 3.1.1.1
net.net4.interface = 4.1.1.1
net.net5.interface = 5.1.1.1
net.net6.interface-restrict = 192.168.0.1

What is the significance of net.bind.interface ?
Do I need to use this (net.bind.interface) once or I have to use this for all the IPs I want to configure?

Do you want to use one of interface IP addresses for SIP?
or do you want to use all of interface IP addresses for SIP?

I want to use 4 interfaces for SIP signalling and 5th interface for RTP only. I dont want BSS to use the 6th interface with private IP.

I would appreciate any response to my query.

BSS will not pick 6th interface because it is a private IP address.

For assigning 5th interface for RTP, use net.rtp.bindsrc and net.rtp.binddst variables at [Configuration]->[Advanced] page.

For example, 5.1.1.1 is 5th interface's IP address.

Code:

net.rtp.binddst = 5.1.1.1 
net.rtp.bindsrc = 5.1.1.1

Appreciate your response.


UAC is connected to us on a point to point private circuit to our router. UAS is connected to us on Public Internet.



UAC -------(1.1.1.0/24)------->BSS--------(2.2.2.0/24)-------UAS


UAC--BSS: Signalling and media will use the same interface.
BSS-UAS: Signalling and Media will be on different interfaces.

Code:

$ifsrc = 1.1.1.1
net.rtp.bindsrc = 1.1.1.1

$ifdst = 2.2.2.1
net.rtp.binddst = 2.2.2.2

Will this work?

Set them at DeployPatterns.

Code:

$ifsrc = 1.1.1.1
&net.rtp.bindsrc = 1.1.1.1
$ifdst = 2.2.2.1
&net.rtp.binddst = 2.2.2.2
