What version of ser are you using? There was a bug related to the alias expiration time, but AFAIK it was fixed long time ago. Andrei

RE: [Serusers] route managment

by Vitaly Nikolaev

In my system I have exec that check database for aliases, check my GW for availability and return to SER right URI to send the call. It is pretty easy script on perl so far (it connect mssql server for LCR and working together with nagios to check if GW up/down/full (I know.. it is slow but so far ok for me)) I can not give u my script because it is meaningless without whole infrastructure, but can answer your questions -----Original Message----- From: serusers-bounces(a)iptel.org [mailto:serusers-bounces@lists.iptel.org] On Behalf Of Andres Sent: Wednesday, July 14, 2004 4:43 PM To: Jan Janak Cc: serusers(a)lists.iptel.org Subject: Re: [Serusers] route managment >>approach is completely impractical for a large network.

Even if we use m4 wouldn't we have this limit? If so then how can we implement 100 gateway routes elegantly in their own route block? Must we stuff 5 per route block or all in one huge PSTN route block?

[Serusers] Aliasing problem

by Dave Bath

Hey Ezequiel, Many thanks for the quick response! Yeah, sorry, I should have mentioned I already have persistent storage for the user tables - they're all stored using mode2, I was just checking with all the references to "aliases stored in cache" that they were actually written to the db as well. Could you explain what the FOREVER_REL value is? Why would the value be too high? Too large a number of the type of storage in the mysql table? Also, does anyone know why the serctl script says the alias was added, but it doesn't seem to have been..? Many thanks again everyone, D ________________________________ From: Ezequiel Colombo [mailto:ecolombo@arcotel.net] Sent: 14 July 2004 19:54 To: Dave Bath; serusers(a)lists.iptel.org Subject: Re: [Serusers] Aliasing problem Dave, you must turn no the persistent storage of the usrloc table. After this the contacts added in the memory table can be dumped to mysql. You can also check in the script serctl if the value of the variable FOREVER_REL is appropiate or is too high for your mysql aliases table and cause the INSERT to fail. In my network i have reduced this value to FOREVER_REL=31536000 (one year). ... FROM README FILE OF USRLOC MODULE ... 1.3.10. db_mode (integer) The usrloc module can utilize database for persistent contact storage. If you use database, your contacts will survive machine restarts or sw crashes. The disadvantage is that accessing database can be very time consuming. Therefore, usrloc module implements three database accessing modes: * 0 - This disables database completely. Only memory will be used. Contacts will not survive restart. Use this value if you need a really fast usrloc and contact persistence is not necessarry or is provided by other means. * 1 - Write-Through scheme. All changes to usrloc are immediately reflected in database too. This is very slow, but very reliable. Use this scheme if speed is not your priority but need to make sure that no registered contacts will be lost during crash or reboot. * 2 - Write-Back scheme. This is a combination of previous two schemes. All changes are made to memory and database synchronization is done in the timer. The timer deletes all expired contacts and flushes all modified or new contacts to database. Use this scheme if you encounter high-load peaks and want them to process as fast as possible. The mode will not help at all if the load is high all the time. Also, latency of this mode is much lower than latency of mode 1, but slightly higher than latency of mode 0. Warning In case of crash or restart contacts that are in memory only and haven't been flushed yet will get lost. If you want minimize the risk, use shorter timer interval. Default value is 0. Example 1-10.

Really enjoying using such a powerful and flexible product. However, I have one problem, and I've done my best to trawl all the groups and lists, and debug it myself and I cannot work out what is going on - perhaps I just don't understand how it works properly. I am trying to set numerical aliases so that incoming routing can be handled more easily by a PSTN gateway. I am trying the command: Serctl alias add 1000 sip:admin@<sipserver> I get a reply that the alias has been added (once a previous message on this list pointed out that I needed to add lookup("aliases"); to ser.cfg)! The problem is the mysql table is still empty - although serctl says that the alias has been added, it doesn't seem to have been. When I try and call "1000" I get a 404 not found, but calling "admin" works fine. Does anyone have any ideas?! Also, on a slight side note, I was assuming that the aliases are reboot-safe... they're stored in the database and will get reloaded if ser is rebooted. Is this the case by default or does an option need to be enabled? Sorry for the long post. Many thanks to everyone who has worked on this, and it would be fantastic to get this last bit sorted out.

[Serusers] Still having problems with Radius Accounting

[Serusers] asterisk as a SUA together with SER

by Cyprien Simons

Hi, I'm trying to use Asterisk as a SUA which would allow me to register on a SER running on the same machine and to send simple test messages through the CLI to another SUA located on another computer, registered on a SER running also on this other computer. I need the CLI because I have to work remotely. Is Asterisk the good choice in your opinion? Thanks a lot for any help. Cyprien

[Serusers] Loose Routing / Record-Route/Route Qeustions

by Arnd Vehling

Hello, i am currently trying to understand what exactly "loose routing" is and what exactly "loose_route" does. According to the admin manual and several postings from iptel.org members on this this piece of code should be at the very top of every routing script right after the sanity checks: # subsequent messages within a dialog should take the # path determined by record-routing if ( loose_route() ) { t_relay(); break; }; AFAIK a proxy determines if a request should be "loose routed" by looking at the "Record-Route"/"lr=on" option. Questions: If i have this statement bevore any authentication checks, dont i risk to have an open relay? Its easy to append a "lr=on" to every request. When exactly is "loose_route == TRUE" I cant find any real info about this either in the admin doc, nor in the according modules README file. I did understood what "Record-Route:" does, but what does "Route:" do i.e. wheres the difference between both?! Does every "subsequent" message belonging to a (statefull) sip call get evaluatet in SERs main route block? (As long as its record-routed off course and the proxy "sees" it). best regards, Arnd

[Serusers] 2nd Instance of SER for SEMS startup

by Steve Blair

Hello: I have a second instance of SER running on the same box as the first instance. The first instance is our proxy server the second exists only to integrate SEMS with the failure_route block. It seems that each instance of SER and possibly SEMS too must be started in a specific sequence. Has anyone looked into this? What I'm seeing is that if the 2nd instance of SER is started first then administrators using serctl experience problems accessing certain functions. Specifically I am seeing a 'ul_dump' does not exist error when issuing the serctl ul show command. If I start the 1st instance (proxy) of SER first I do not get this error. Thinking this was due to missing loadmodules in the 2nd config file I copied the loadmodule statements from the 1st config file to the 2nd. I no longer have issues with serctl regardless of the startup sequence but now calls that use to fail over to SEMS are getting a fast busy. Am I missing something about the startup sequence of 2 instances of SER ?

[Serusers] Newer VOIP devices ?

by Bill

Is anyone familar with the newer VOIP devices that sit outside the LAN between the cable/DSL modem and the firewall/NAT router? I understand AT&T is using something like this but what they use has a device like a Cisco 186 and a router built into one for under $100. Basically, it's a SIP friendly router with POTS ports. Vonage has something like this mentioned on their web site as well. This allows them to offer SIP/VOIP services quickly without having to battle the NAT problems. Anyone using such an animal?
