The OpenSER standard configuration file is installed at /etc/openser/openser.cfg
. It is one of the simplest configuration files for OpenSER. It is the ideal script to start explaining the functioning of OpenSER. There are several sections that you should be familiar with, along with basic modules, parameters, and functions.
By the end of this chapter you will be able to:
Identify the sections of the
openser.cfg
configuration fileIdentify the limitations of the standard configuration
Use the
ngrep
utility to track SIP transactionsUse the XLOG module to log the route processing
Use the
append_hf
command to mark packets tracked in thengrep
utility
The standard configuration is a good starting point. It has a minimal functionality, it does not support authentication, so you can connect your SIP phones without a password. Anyway, you can call from one phone to another and we will test it later.
