<div dir="ltr"><div>The entire point is to auto-detect which IP is used for Internet access, which is obviously impossible without a default gateway. The reason for that is in the frequent case where a machine may have multiple IP addresses. So you are going to have to set <span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">local_ip_v4 explicitly.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">As far as a generic config goes - why not have common configuration files and handle all the machine-specific stuff in vars.xml, then any machine-specific stuff is in a single file which'll make it easier to manage.</span></div>
<div><br></div><div>If you want to auto-detect the static IP, then modify the init.d script to first run a script that picks up the current IP and updates vars.xml. That would need to be done before freeswitch is started.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thinking about the best way to handle this long term though...<br class="">Perhaps you could file a wishlist Jira that allows you to set local_ip_v4 by an interface name. FreeSWITCH should be able to lookup the primary IP of an interface pretty easily.<br>

<div> </div><div>The problem that I am having is, my customer is working in a Local LAN, and is not very keen on setting the interface gateway. Without gateway set, connect() returns 'Network unreachable' error.</div>
