Change External IP

When the external IP is changed, a few settings need to be updated in ViciBox to match. To help facilitate this, the vicibox-externip script was added. This script will attempt to auto-detect the correct external IP and insert it into Asterisk. Alternatively, you can provide the new IP to the script when you run it.

Using vicibox-externip

  1. If not already, log in as the root user to get to the # command prompt.

  2. Type vicibox-externip and press ENTER. Alternatively, type in the IP address to use as well, e.g. vicibox-externip 1.2.3.4.

  3. Review the IP summary information, and press Y and press ENTER to make the change and update Asterisk.

Additional Changes

In addition to modifying the Asterisk configuration, the following items will also need to be checked and possibly adjusted:

  • External Server IP under Admin ‣ Servers

  • DNS entries that pointed to the old server IP

  • Sounds Web Server under Admin ‣ System Settings
