[Freeswitch-users] Floating IPs and fs_cli

[Zach Rothy]

Good Evening,

I recently set up a floating IP on freeswitch as I have 2 servers that 
will be running as active and standby in case one goes down. I have the 
sip profiles for internal and external ipv4 as well as verto 
communicator's conf file set to bind to this floating IP. I also added 
the required thing to sysctl as listed on the high availability page so 
that it won't have problems binding to that IP if it wasn't there for 
some reason. After I set this all up I noticed I could no longer connect 
to the CLI with fs_cli. Is there some special arguments that have to be 
passed or used to access the CLI when using a floating IP address?

Some notes of my set up:

Though I mention high availability, I only referenced it for any 
settings that may be needed for freeswitch to bind properly to a 
floating IP and do not actually plan on doing anything else besides this 
floating IP. Right before I set this up my coworker had shut IPv6 off on 
the server as it was not needed. I noticed this as the IPv6 profiles 
couldn't bind anymore, and I had temporarily removed the sip profiles to 
remove errors in case that was a problem.

Thanks in advance,
Zach R
