Create Dummy MAC Address check box does not generate MAC Address when trying to upload BAT file

[KAREN G]

Hi;

I'm programming phones on the new CUCM 11.5 using Bulk Administration.  When I upload phones with the csv file and also txt file (I will be using TAPs) and check the box "Create Dummy MAC Address" it sends my job to the Job Scheduler.  When I check the Job Scheduler - it says completed but does not show me the "Job Results" - so i see no success or errors on it.  I go to phones and notice that they did not upload.

When I take the same file and add MAC Addresses it uploads properly - but by doing it this way, will not be able to use TAPs.  Need this to work as I will be programming approx 1000+ phones and getting MAC addresses for all these is not possible.

Hoping someone has a fix for this or knows of a bug in the system.

Thanks,

Karen

In your file, are you populating anything in the Device Name/MAC Address column? I have found that I usually have to make my own range of dummy MAC addresses even if I am using the Create Dummy MAC Address checkbox.

Hi James;

Sorry for delay in replying back on this.  Yes i found out with the latest release 11.5, you must put in a dummy MAC Address in the Device column even though you upload it with "Create Dummy MAC Address" is check off.
