[Freeswitch-users] where do variables like local_ip_v4 get their values?

[Brian West]

local_ip_v4 is setup inside switch_core.c as a global variable that  
can be used in the config.  FreeSWITCH will try to detect the proper  
address to bind to for the sip profiles in your case it can't figure  
it out since you might not be connected to the internet.  So you can  
open up vars.xml and set it... remember the default configs are just  
an example of how to use FreeSWITCH not the set in stone way you  
should use FreeSWITCH.   You can also open up the xml files in  
sip_profiles and input the sip-ip and rtp-ip in there also.
