Configuring Avaya IP Phone on CME 10.5

[opeyemityusuf]

Hello,

I am trying to configure an Avaya 1608 IP Phone on a cme 10.5 but the phone is not picking IP, how i ensure it gets the the voice vlan, the voice register pool configuration and i need to be sure if i need to upload the phone firmware on the cme router. Kindly assist with any information to make it work.

Try assigning a static IP if possible, couple of posts related to third party SIP phones on CME that you can refer

Hi,

Avaya phones use multiple DHCP options. Option 242 for IP/VLAN and the syntax as below (vlan 1 is the data vlan and vlan104 is the voice vlan). Configure it in your DHCP pool.

 option 242 ascii mcipadd=192.168.X.X,tftpsrvr=192.168.X.X,L2Q=1,L2QVLAN=104,VLANTEST=0

Thanks Mohammed,

Kindly confirm if mcipadd=192.168.X.X,tftpsrvr=192.168.X.X is the IP address of the CME Router. Do i need an Avaya firmware.
