CISCO ISE Avaya Profiling Question

bgl-group
Level 1
Level 1

I have a strange problem with profiling Cisco IP Phones.

We have various types of phones 9630, 4622 and 4621s which work fine and 1608 and 4610s which won't profile properly.

Looking at the DHCP request I think I have found the issue.

Looking at these two it appears the 9630 send a vendor class identifies (60) as ccp.avaya.com. The 1608 doesn't.

The ISE Profiling rule used the VCI to identify as a Avaya-IP-Phone.

Now to get round this I could change my authentication rule to use the Avaya-Device profiling group but this seems a little bit wrong. I don't expect anything other than IP phones from Avaya but.....

Any suggestions on how best to do the profiling. I have attached the wireshark captures to this message as well.

Thanks

Hi,


Can you share the show tech from one of the access switches?


What is the error message you see on the phone when you try to authenticate?


What is the authentication method that you are using?

Do we see an Access-Reject sent from ISE ?

Also,Check if EAP-MD5 is allowed and if you have checked checkbox for "Detect EAP-MD5 as Host Lookup" - this should be checked in case when you would like to use EAP-MD5 for MAB authentication.

Regards,

Aditya

Hi Aditya

I have tried the following

Enabled Detect EAP-MD5 as host lookup (no change)

Enabled LLDP on the switch (switch gives loads more data doesn't change ISE).

The problem isn't with the switch or the access policy. It is the phone model (1608) doesn't profile correctly coming up as an 'Avaya Device' not an 'Avaya IP Phone'.

The only solution I can see is to change the authentication rules in ISE to apply my IP Phone ACL to any 'Avaya Device' unless someone can suggest a custom profile for this device?

I don't really want to do this in case someone plugs something odd into the network - i.e. Avaya made but not an IP phone.

Thanks

Giles

Hi,

it mainly depends on your Profiling configuration.

if the phone supports LLDP the best is normally to enable the Device Sensor on the Switch and the ISE is able to see the LLDP capabilities. If you aren't able to use device sensor or lldp isn't supported on the phones you can use the DHCP Option 242 which is requested from both phones.

I am experiencing the same problem.  Did you come up with a fix for this?  I was thinking of using DHCP option 60 to send the ccp.avaya.com.
