Chapter 6 Monitoring the Cisco Unified IP Phone Remotely

Network Setup

Table 6-2

Network Configuration Area Items (continued)

 

 

 

Item

 

Description

 

 

Operational VLAN ID

Auxiliary Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) configured on a Cisco Catalyst switch in

 

 

which the phone is a member.

 

 

Admin. VLAN ID

Auxiliary VLAN in which the phone is a member.

 

 

CallManager 1–5

Host names or IP addresses, in prioritized order, of the Cisco Unified Communications

 

 

Manager servers with which the phone can register. An item can also show the IP address of

 

 

an SRST router that is capable of providing limited Cisco Unified Communications Manager

 

 

functionality, if such a router is available.

 

 

For an available server, an item will show the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server

 

 

IP address and one of the following states:

 

 

Active—Cisco Unified Communications Manager server from which the phone is

 

 

currently receiving call-processing services.

 

 

Standby—Cisco Unified Communications Manager server to which the phone switches

 

 

if the current server becomes unavailable.

 

 

Blank—No current connection to this Cisco Unified Communications Manager server.

 

 

An item may also include the Survivable Remote Site Telephony (SRST) designation, which

 

 

identifies an SRST router capable of providing Cisco Unified Communications Manager

 

 

functionality with a limited feature set. This router assumes control of call processing if all

 

 

other Cisco Unified Communications Manager servers become unreachable. The SRST

 

 

Cisco Unified Communications Manager always appears last in the list of servers, even if it

 

 

is active. You configure the SRST router address in the Device Pool section in

 

 

Cisco Unified Communications Manager Configuration window.

 

 

 

DHCP Enabled

 

Indicates whether DHCP is being used by the phone.

 

 

DHCP Address Released

Indicates the setting of the DHCP Address Released option on the phone’s Network

 

 

Configuration menu.

 

 

 

Alternate TFTP

 

Indicates whether the phone is using an alternative TFTP server.

 

 

Forwarding Delay

Indicates whether the internal switch begins forwarding packets between the PC port and

 

 

switched port on your phone when your phone becomes active. When forwarding delay is set

 

 

to disabled, the internal switch begins forwarding packets immediately. When forwarding

 

 

delay is set to enabled, the internal switch waits eight seconds before forwarding packets

 

 

between the PC port and the SW port. You should set forwarding delay to enabled when you

 

 

connect both ports to switches for redundant uplinks or when you daisy-chain phones

 

 

together.

 

 

 

Automatic Port

 

Indicates if the automatic port synchronization is enabled or disabled. When automatic port

Synchronization

 

synchronization is enabled, it is recommended that both ports be configured for autonegotiate.

(Cisco Unified IP Phone

If one port is enabled for autonegotiate and the other is at a fixed speed, the phone

synchronizes to the fixed port speed.

SW Port Remote

Indicates if software port configuration of the speed and duplex mode for the SW port is

Configuration

 

enabled or disabled.

 

 

 

PC Port Remote

 

Indicates if remote port configuration of the speed and duplex mode for the PC port is enabled

Configuration

 

or disabled.
