Cisco IP Phone 8851 with Multiplatform Firmware version 11.2.1 not RFC compliant when sending in-dialog SUBSCRIBE

gedia

Hello,

 

I've noticed that firmware 11.2.1 (I haven't tested for older versions) violates SIP specifications in an embarrassing way when sending a re-SUBSCRIBE within an existing dialog. More specifically, the phone (a 8851 in this case) doesn't use the previously received URI from the Contact header. Instead, it re-uses the R-URI from the initial SUBSCRIBE.

 

Please find below the cadence of SIP messages demonstrating the problem:

 

SUBSCRIBE sip:402@my-sip-proxy.net SIP/2.0
Via: SIP/2.0/UDP 2.2.2.2:5064;branch=z9hG4bK-e33ba6a1

The URI from the response's Contact: header should be used for all subsequent

in-dialog requests from the phone.

Can someone from Cisco confirm if/when this will be registered as a bug report for 3PCC firmware on the 8800-Series of IP Phones?

 

Thanks.

Just to manage expectations: Cisco employees are not obligated to contribute to the forums. Those who do are volunteering their time/energy. Feel free to hold out a few more days but if you want a formal response within SLAs, or any hope of getting a defect created, you need to open a TAC case.

I have no expectations for a fix. However, it's a little frustrating that there's no formal procedure to report serious bugs, such as this one involving RFC violations, when one does not have an active TAC subscription. Personally, I would be satisfied if a bug report were created which I then would be able to watch for updates.

Hello.
Where were these packets captured?

Please attach a PRT or a Packet capture taken from the phone web page (http://[Phone IP]/admin/advanced).

 

Info->Debug Info->Start Packet Capture (Start after phone bootup and stop after the issue is seen)

Info->Debug Info->Generate PRT (Generate after issue is seen. Set Debug level to DEBUG[Voice->System->Debug Level])

 

Thanks.
