Unregistered IP handsets 9

Not sure where to go next with this one. Customer had an ipo500 v2 on 8.1 we upgraded to 11.1
They then started to have problems where after a system reboot some phones (random extensions and quantity) would freeze up and not allow user to log on.
System status would show these phones in the "unregistered h323" list.
We have swapped the SD card, and most recently swapped the Poe switches put the DHCP scope on the network switches (seperate networks for voice and data).
The "quick" fix is to make a system change (i.e. name change) and then all the stuck extensions pop through and are useable again.
Anyone seen this issue or know a possible fix?
It is becoming very frustrating for the customer. And us.
 
1st thing try latest maint release, i that fails report to Avaya Via IPOSS

Normally I would say VoiP problems are due to the customer network but a this was working previously an IP office bug is not out of the question


Do things on the cheap & it will cost you dear
 
In case you use the 16xx phones, make sure to disable voip security in IPO manager.
 
Nah they are 9608.
Have upgrade to 11.2
Still happened after the restart, had to make a name change to force the last few handsets to move from unregistered to logged on.
Any other thoughts?
 
so I attended again and swapped out the Avaya chassis, re-wrote the config to a replacement SD card, defaulted the telephoens and re-entered new base numbers from scratch, essentially a whole new solution.
Same issue occurred, couldnt believe it. Checked the switches and disconnected the firewall, and this seems to be the issue.
Since upgrade form 8.0 to 11 maybe some additional security features are present, but the firewall seems to cause the phones to go unregistered on a reboot.
Its a sonic wall, (i have no idea on thsese things).
customers firewall has 2 NIC cards ,so they can access the VM pro PC and avaya via the network (also has oak call reporting on this PC).
For now I have removed the firewall form the voice network. we have remote access over SIP trunk (WAN port).
Just means until sorted we and customer wont have access to the VM machine.
Anyone have any thoughts on what may need turning off on the avaya to resolve/ or amending on the sonic wall to fix?

I also noted that the system status threw a security TLS "fatal error on connection" between the Avaya LAN port and the firewall IP address when it was patched into the voice network switches..
 
You are not telling us, that you have the IPO WAN port directly to the internet?

If so please correct this immediately to avoid getting hacked!

Need some help with IP Office?
 
What do you mean derfloh? The wan is connected to a router/firewall with IP routes set to only allow access to sip and our remote access.
 
In R11 it is mandatory that each IP Extension needs a password to register.
Did you set a password on the IP Extensions?
Did you defaulted and re-configured the security settings after the upgrade?
Track the issue with monitor and eneble on the H.323 filther the RAS options.
 
Hi Intrigrant,
Password on each user - yes
Defaulted the security settings and reconfigure - yes
Running monitor - i have unticked everything but left Events H.323 ticked, and the RAS send and receive - do you suggest any other tick boxes be enabled?
 
Password on each user - yes
Password on each extension -?

The extension password should only be required if Media Security is enabled.

I had to remove this for one customer as it caused the phones to get logged out from time to time.

"Trying is the first step to failure..." - Homer
 
What!? Sorry but it is 100% nothing to do with media security. It is used for phone registration with the system. If you don't want to set it for each extension, you can use the 'System | VoIP | VoIP Security | Default Extension Password' setting.

Also, having leapt so many releases, you may also be falling foul of the 'Block Default IP Phone Passcodes' setting in the security config settings.

Stuck in a never ending cycle of file copying.
 
It is used for phone registration if there is no User with the same extension.

Phone Password Default = Blank. Range = Up to 31 digits.
H.323 Extensions only. Does not apply to DECT phones.

The password that must be entered as part of phone registration. This password is used to secure registration of H.323 phones when there is no matching user to authenticate against. Required if Media Security is enabled.


"Trying is the first step to failure..." - Homer
 
yes there is a password on each extension.

here is a snippet of the monitor, im not too familiar with monitor or how to read it/ what it all means, this seems to be at the point of customer unplugging a phone and it becoming "stuck" as unregistered, only becoming logged in / usable after a quick name change..

janni78 - the fact that whatever you're quoting from says "H.323 extensions only" should tell you it out of date.

Stuck in a never ending cycle of file copying.
 
I'm assuming 192.168.42.1 is your IP Office.
What is .20 and .254 ?

...and having found which document you quoted, it seems Avaya are wrong but what's new there.

Guess my system is broken then since I don't have any passwords on Extensions and it works as documented.
I was forced to have passwords while Media Security was enabled, but since the IPO can't handle large amount of calls that use SRTP I had to disable it.

Hi Janni78,
yes .42.1 is the PBX.
.42.20 is the users phone that gets unregistered (in this example, but happens to multiple telephones if unlugged / rebooted).
.254 is the gateway firewall (sonicwall).
This firewall is a dual NIC and one port is connected to the voice switches, this is so the users can access the Avaya manager and call reporting programs which is on the VM PC also on this network, from their data network.. (hope that makes sense).

If the customer disconnects this firewall for mthe voice LAN and reboots a phone it does not freeze.

I think the v11 upgrade includes some additional security or something that the firewall does not like and the firewll is blocking or doing something to the IP address that makes it go unregistered on the Avaya? - is that even possible)
 
The question is why the register request comes from the firewall

Traffic from the phone to IPO shouldn't go through it if they are on the same subnet.
I assume the IPO is connected to the same switch as the phones?
