Issue on linking two InspIRCd servers

Hi everybody! I'm trying to create an IRC network that uses two linked
InspIRCd servers, which are run on two separate hosts, to expand the
network.

I'm having headaches because I cannot get the reason why the <link>
functionality does not work with my configs.

>IP Server a: 10.11.12.122
>
>IP Server b: 10.11.12.4

*Server a* `inspircd.conf` file:

    <server
            name="dog.omega.example.org"
            description="Waddle World"
            network="Omega">

    <module name="spanningtree">
    <bind address="*" port="7000,7001" type="servers">
    <include file="links.conf">

*Server a* `links.conf` file:

    # link to Server b
    <link
          name="penguin.omega.example.org"
          ipaddr="10.11.12.4"
          port="7000"
          allowmask="10.11.12.0/24 172.24.4.0/24"
          timeout="2m"
          statshidden="no"
          hidden="no"
          sendpass="incoming!password"
          recvpass="outgoing!password">

    <autoconnect period="1m" server="10.11.12.4">

&#x200B;

*Server b* `inspircd.conf` file:

    <server
            name="penguin.omega.example.org"
            description="Maddle World"
            network="Omega">

    <module name="spanningtree">
    <bind address="*" port="7000,7001" type="servers">
    <include file="links.conf">

*Server b* `links.conf` file:

    # link to Server a
    <link
          name="dog.omega.example.org"
          ipaddr="10.11.12.122"
          port="7000"
          allowmask="10.11.12.0/24 172.24.4.0/24"
          timeout="2m"
          statshidden="no"
          hidden="no"
          sendpass="outgoing!password"
          recvpass="incoming!password">

When up, both servers are still running independently. Am I missing
something?

Thanks in advance!

The server logs might show the error. Make sure they’re not fire
walled off from each other.

I've never used InspIRCD but can you try the allow mask with any
connection for testing? MAke sure the ports are allowed through on the
firewall.
