<p>I have created orderer and cli pods. When i go to cli shell and create channel then it is not able to connect with ordrer.</p>

<p><em>Error: failed to create deliver client: orderer client failed to connect to orderer:7050: failed to create new connection: context deadline exceeded</em></p>

<p>The port for order ie. <code>7050</code> is open and when i go to orderer shell and do <code>telnet localhost 7050</code> it is connected but when specify the ip for pod then it does not work.</p>

<p>I am using Google Cloud for deloyment. I have also added firewall rules for ingress and egress for all IP and all Ports.</p>

<p>Any help will be much appreciated. </p>

<p>I was missing this variable </p>

<pre><code>ORDERER_GENERAL_LISTENADDRESS = 0.0.0.0
</code></pre>

<p>After adding this variable it worked</p>
