this is the configuration from core to router and there are 3 other switches in between core and the switch where phones are connected.

Thanks Anas will check the documentation.

Are the phones connecting in the first instance, or loosing their lease when disconnected?

I am assuming that the DCHP option have been checked and the phones setting files checked as well?

Hi Chakravarthy,

Can u share the Avaya IP phone model ?

regds,

aman

Hi Aman,

Phone model is 9608

Regards

Chakra.

Hi James,

phones are sendind requests but router is not leasing the ip addresses.

Hi Chakravarthy,

Please refer the Avaya Links which say about Avaya 9608 IP phone Firmware and some info related to LLDP.

http://support.avaya.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1386

http://downloads.avaya.com/css/P8/documents/100092537

Please try speaking to Avaya as well.

regds,

aman

Thanks Aman ,will give a try.

I had this problem before when I deployed AVAYA IP Office and Phones with cisco switch This is what you should do:

  • AVAYA IP Phones recognize only LLDP protocol not CDP so just run LLDP globally switch#(config)lldp run
  • then check if w/ switch#show lldp neighbors.
  • After that it is a good practice to Enable the VLAN tag and ID on the AVAYA IP phones. then on the vlan interface point the DHCP server of AVAYA IP phones to the IP OFFICE with switch#(config-if)ip helper-address x.x.x.x
  • Also avaya IP phone is using option 66 (TFTP server name) not option 150 (TFTP server IP address) so the IP phones should resolve the TFTP server (IP OFFICE).

Thanks Nicolo for your reply.

but however we are using same configuration at the other remote office and it is working fine i checked all the switches in that n/w for lldp and it is not enabled.

Gopineni,

I have been looking at the 9608 phone.

http://downloads.avaya.com/css/P8/documents/100161759

I think the issue hereis related to the option 242 in your dhcp scope in the original posting

Can you try removing the setting and re-insrting without the VLANTEST option

!

ip dhcp pool VOICE

no option 242 ascii MCIPADD=172.25.19.4, MCPORT=1719, HTTPSRVR=172.25.19.5, VLANTEST=0

option 242 ascii MCIPADD=172.25.19.4, MCPORT=1719, HTTPSRVR=172.25.19.5

!

Looks like the phone is trying to tag an 802.1Q value.

You ports are all set set to access in vlan 60 so we do not

want any tagging.

Worth a try.

Regards,
Alex.
