Thanks Colin,

I understand the qualify=yes part....

My question is with when I do " sip show channels", it will show me all the active channels talking with their CallerID, Seq(Tx/Rx) and Codec Format.

Currently, when I do "sip show channels" it will show me that i have +500 active SIP Channels.

Here is part of my "sip show channels"

sandpiper*CLI> sip show channels
Peer                            User/ANR    Call ID                     Seq 
(Tx/Rx)   Format
xxx.xxx.xxx.185    3475995432  5e8752f5790  00103/00000         g729
xxx.xxx.xxx.196  884830533  3b41d775697  00102/00102     g729
xxx.xxx.xxx.185    3054335380  62885ead061  00103/00000         g729
xxx.xxx.xxx.169  946261466  073fef98482  00102/00102     g729
xxx.xxx.xxx.185    9534754328  36714789221  00102/00001          unknow(d)
xxx.xxx.xxx.185    8095428187  50b3a6a6276  00104/00001          unknow(d)
xxx.xxx.xxx.185    7537183043  448a16c57a8  00104/00602         unknow(d)
xxx.xxx.xxx.185    1195472727  170a4ff8696  00104/00002          unknow(d)
xxx.xxx.xxx.185    5333305485  519785b75a4  00104/00001         unknow(d)

You can see I have only two active channels of g729 in real...

Now how can I clear other channels with format "unknown(d)" without restarting the Asterisk.


Thanks,
Neal

"unknown" usually indicates that there is active communication between
Asterisk server and the phone that does not involve a voice codec. An
example of that would be registering the phone. Another example would be call setup and teardown before RTP data is sent and codec preference is
established.

What's probably happening in your case is you have qualify=yes for each entry in sip.conf. Therefore, Asterisk is communicating with the phones constantly in order to give you a ping time when you type "sip show peers".
Try qualify=no in sip.conf.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] How to Clear SIP Channels


Hello All,

Is there any way to clear the SIP Channels?

When I run "sip show channels" on CLI I see +500 SIP Channels active
with "unknown" codec.

But thats false information, because when I restart my Asterisk and
run "sip show channels" I will see the actual active channels with
correct codec info.

Anyways to clear the sip channels without restarting the Asterisk box
or any other solution?


Please help!!

Thanks,
Neal.
