In FreePbx, a non-outgoing trunk always shows Registered, even if the password is incorrect. How so?

Question

Asterisk

The essence of the problem is as follows. There are 2 outgoing trunks, both are selected in outgoing routing, logically. when the first one in the list is disabled, automatic calls should be made through the second one.
But for some reason, this scheme does not work, for example, if you kill the trunk on the firewall, or change its password. Works only if it is in the same place, in the web face to turn off.
Why is that?

Answer 1

After you have killed the provider on the firewall (I hope you put the new DROP rule at the very top?), you must either do sip reload to update the registration, or wait for the registration to end (it can be any time up to 1 hour if you didn’t twist anything)
