9611G mac addr

[desrae]

I just received a batch of 9611G phones, brand new. Interestingly, the mac address the phone reports is the same as communication manager reports.

However, the network switch sees it as a completely different mac address. When I do a network capture, the phone seems to be using the mac address that the switch reports - not the one the phone label or communication manager thinks it is.

Could these phones actually be authentic Avaya phones, or possibly knock offs?

What is the MAC address that the switch is reporting?

SNMP walk the phone. I've never actually checked if/when they said "the switchport for the pc" is "phone mac on the top port" and "whatever the PCs mac is on the other" or if its actually a 3 port data switch - with 3 MACs, on which the telephone device connects on an internal port - which is what you see in CM, and the uplink to the data switch it gets POE from has another and the port to the PC has another. I can see that being the case. Each port on a 24 port switch has a mac, right? why would the phone be any different!
