Hi Michael,

th naks for reply
the voice vlan is 25 and the port which the ip phone is connected is 5
the dhcp is globally define on the server and connected on the l3 switch

i have recived the logs on the switch is mentioned below…

Hi Navdeep,

How did you configure the IP phone?
How did you configure the DHCP server?

You provided some information about the network configuration but you didn’t tell me which port you connected the IP phone to?

Feel free to post over on the discussion forums.

Good Luck!

Thanks for the comment Eric.

If you haven’t already drop by the discussion forums, it’s a great place to share your questions or help answer a few.

Cheers!

Thanks Mike,

I just confirmed with the Client that the IP Phone wasn’t programmed with the Voice VLAN manually. So that most likely explains why it didn’t work as expected.

I just want to use this opportunity to say that I have been reviewing your Blog for months now and it has been been very informative in every way one can imagine.

I really appreciate the effort you have put into it and thanks again for the great work overall.

I guess, I speak for most of us when I say that your work as regards to your Blog is inspiring.

Thanks again!

Hi Eric,

The unTagPvidOnly setting will only impact devices that you have connected to the PC port of the IP phone. Because those devices generally won’t understand the 802.1q header so the the PVID needs to be set to the data VLAN and the switch will strip the 802.1q headers off the Ethernet frames before it sends them down the IP phone and ultimately out the PC port.

How do you make it work? You need to set the Voice VLAN ID within the IP phone and you need to make sure that the port (1/3) is a member of that VLAN. With that done the IP phone will boot either with a static IP address of with a DHCP address if you have a DHCP pool available in that VLAN.

Good Luck!

Hi Michael,

If I hard code a Nortel IP Phone with an IP Address on the Voice VLAN and the IP Phone is connected to Port 1/3 which is associated with the command “vlan ports 1/1-47 tagging unTagPvidOnly”, shouldn’t the Phone work just fine without manual intervention of changing the Port’s PVID to be that of the Voice VLAN ID instead of the Data/Native VLAN?

This unfortunately didn’t work. The PVID for Port 1/3 had to be changed to the Voice VLAN ID.

Any ideas?

I am very happy about your blog because i got lot of information on Nortel Switches.

I am facing one problem in ERS 5520 that whenever i remove the cable form port, i am not getting any cli messages (alter) on cli prompt . But in cisco switch wherever i disconnected port form cisco switch, i am getting alter messages on cli prompt. So i need a solution on ERS 5520 as well as ers8600.

Thanks
Hemant Shingane

Our infrastrucure :
Network : Nortel stacks with 5520 switches (firmware 6.0.1.002)
IP Phones : Cisco 7911

Data vlan configured on every port. Adac is configured to dynamicaly assigned voice vlan to a port. Unfortunately this not working well : We often see phones that go in the data vlan and stay.

Our switch configuration looks equal as yours but…something must be wrong.

It is interesting to note that :
a. disabling/enabling adac on the port can put the phone in the voicevlan.
b. disabling/enabling poe can also put he ipphone in the voice vlan.
c: this can happened on every port.

Thanks Michael . I have tried with B option already with bt set to y but it stops at DHCP option . I will play around with option B.

Hi Deepak,

You can’t set that option with the legacy Nortel-i2004-A option. You need to use the Nortel-i2004-B option which requires UNIStim v2.3 or later firmware on the IP phones. You can find additional information on the Nortel-i2004-B option in this post. If you only have a few phones you can probably just enable bluetooth from the phone itself.

Cheers!

Hi Michael,

How do I enable bluetooth in option 128 ? Tried with bt=1

option 128 ascii “Nortel-i2004-A,10.2.224.15:4100,1,2;10.2.224.15:4100,1,2;bt,1.”

I’m happy I was able to help.

Cheers!

You are the Champ .. It works now !!

I was using option 191 is voice VLAN instead of data VLAN .

Thank you so much . You made my day .. Have a wonderful weekend !

Hi Deepak,

You need DHCP addresses in the data (default) VLAN with option 191 defined. You need DHCP addresses with option 128 defined in the voice VLAN.

The IP phone will issue a DHCP request in the default VLAN. If it receives a response with option 191 it will issue a DHCP release and issue a DHCP request in the voice VLAN (VLAN tag equal to the value returned in option 191). The switch port needs to be configured as untag default VLAN (allowing trunking but only tagging the non PVID ports).

Good Luck!

I am trying to connect Nortel IP Phone 1120E for full DHCP with cisco 6509 switch ( which is a DHCP server ) . But I am not able to get this Full DHCP working without configuring the Voice VLAN ID in the IP Phone settings.

option 128 ascii “Nortel-i2004-A,10.2.224.15:4100,1,2;10.2.224.15:4100,1,2.”
option 191 VLAN-A:501.

where 501 is Voice DHCP VLAN.

Any clues ?

Thanks for the comment Peter!

1. Disable ADAC on all telephony ports.
2. Change PVID on all required ports.
3. Re-Enable ADAC on ports.

Downtime was unavoidable but only lasted 3-5 minutes in total.

Best advice is to plan,plan,plan and get the settled config before putting into production.

Hi RD,

You can create a Multi-Link Trunk and configure ADAC to use the first port in the trunk group (it will automatically be applied to all members of the trunk group). You can refer to this post, http://blog.michaelfmcnamara.com/2007/10/nortel-ers-5520-pwr-switch/ for an example of how to configure a 5520 switch with ADAC and LLDP-MED. When we have multiple switches in a stack we generally use ports 1/48 and 2/48 as the MLT members for the uplinks to the core network. In this way if we loose either of those switches we’ll still have an uplink to the core network.

The only downside of ADAC is that neither Device Manager nor the CLI interface warn users that try to make configuration changes to ports with ADAC enabled. You can find additional information at this post http://blog.michaelfmcnamara.com/2009/02/adac-and-vlan-configurations-part-2/.

Good Luck!

Anyone have any thoughts on this? Solutions aside from making sure both VLANs (data dn voice) are physically assigned to each port and onlyusing ADAC for QoS?

Thanks for the feedback and comment!

Rebooting the switch doesn’t appear to help, only resetting LLDP to defaults and redoing the LLDP part of the config (even though nothing has changed).

Glen.
