So put in a TAC case and asked our Cisco rep about this.

Basically they have no plans to support CER with 9200s. So we're using IP subnets which works for most of our sites, but we have a few places with different physical locations on the same subnet, which means we'll just have to manually add in phones there.

Is there a bug ID or is this listed explicitly in any documents?

Edit:
CER release notes don’t list 9200 series as supported hardware but doesn’t say why.

Found out 8961's are discontinued today when trying to make a purchase for a phone conversion at a couple of our locations.. Is the 8861 the closest replacement? We have some 8811/8841s but I don't really love those phones, and the 8861 seems pretty similar.

It is the same plus WLAN radio, more power for USB, higher PoE class draw , and 3.5mm line in/out.

More or less 7800, 8800, or DX at this point but I wonder if the DX is long for this world.

The VDOM functionality alone makes life easier in deploying multi-stakeholder networks at remote locations. Just hand over the VDOM credentials to stakeholder IT and tell them to go nuts.

VDOMs are pretty great. We have a multi-tenant environment and have made great use of them in that capacity, even though we manage the device for the other tenants.

Yeah, I just experienced this at a new site with metro Ethernet. Our “100mb symmetrical” link was auto negotiating to 100/half duplex giving us like 10mb actual speed. Got to experience the hell that is ATTs support too, after 3 auto closed tickets they finally fixed it.

I dont think the speed 100 was an actual problem but it negotiates at 1000/full now and speeds are what I expected.

Make sure you have your own equipment shaping or policing to 100/100 or else you will have a lot of large file transfers magically fail when the ATT policer kills your session.

TAC doesn’t know, rep wouldn’t know, things like this have your SE ask the product group for a roadmap. If you have an NDA they should be able to share it.

Yeah when I say rep I mean account rep. They have a team of people available who’s business it is to know things. Partners have resources too but they seem to sometimes not bother.

TAC is hit or miss if they go near the BU or just tell you they are going out of the office and waste your time.

Doesn’t CUIC have something for that? I dunno if that’s what it’s still called but it’s always worked fine.

We are currently using infortel’s ISI until our uccx implementation is done and it loving sucks

Otherwise some workforce management type softwares out there probably do what you need, but for a high price if all you want is reporting

Standalone CUIC let’s you do custom reporting which can get pretty granular. Regular CUIC only lets you do stock reports.

There's Cisco Live but it is in Cali

CUIC lets you automate the mailing of reports.

If you're a CCX customer, you can install CUIC standalone and create new report definitions that you can import to the CUIC on-box. I don't know if you need premium seat licensing for that.

You're right. Cali. We're a CCX Premium customer. Worth looking into.

Just want to slit my wrists whenever I see this:

The Real Time Reporting(RTR) client is a Java application. RTR file can be downloaded using the link "Download RTR" given below. Once the RTR file is downloaded, you can double-click on it to run on the client machine. You can access the RTR client with the Unified CCX Administrator or Supervisor credentials. You must close it after you have run the reports for the Unified CCX system. The RTR client requires Java 1.7.0_80 or later to run on the client machine.

Oh yeah - that thing more or less gives you an at-a-glance of your resources, contacts, CSQs but it is not really a "reporting" tool. It's good for you as an admin to see how things are working, but if you operate multiple teams/tenants on that machine it will not be very helpful.

Works on the latest Java 8 just fine.

I don’t think the CRS editor needs it anymore. Depending on the complexity of your setup it’s either a cake walk or a pain in the rear end. Lots of neat poo poo you can do if you have the time to build that up (and support it)

Easy enough to get basic web chat, email, phone ACD in there and do some pre canned reports. You just have to be happy with it as it is and not make a huge mess out of it.

It is. We've got a few servers at work running EVE-NG now because it was worth spending a few hundred bucks on licenses for that and a couple days building images for all the gear we regularly need to lab up instead of fighting with GNS3 or trying to get stuff set up in the back room all the time.

I will have to look into this because EVE-NG sounds like it would work really well for us. Currently I'm using my old Boson NetSim to lab as much as I can, its not as bad as GSN3 but much more limited in its capabilities.

Cuz life sucks, kids. Get it while you can.

I started working full time from home back in April and have had phone issues ever since. Since no one else who works from home is having the same issues, the IT department has washed their hands of it saying it’s my ISP.

Basically, my Cisco phone disconnects approximately every two hours saying “Registration lost due to VPN failure”. It reconnects within a few seconds, but if I’m on a call it’s enough to drop me. It happens so fast I can’t detect a disconnect in my virtual desktop, if any.

My phone and computer both have separate wired connections to the router, so I’m thinking it may be a setting on my router? I have a Netgear AC2300 that I haven’t messed around with too much since getting. IT had me enable Alternate TFTP and put in TFTP server numbers, but that didn’t help.

If you’re trying to VPN tunnel from NAT to NAT across your consumer grade router it probably isn’t going to work perfectly. Ask if they have any old ASA 5505s or something you can get to use as your home edge.

Is your DHCP lease expiring? Try statically assigning your phone the IP its dynamically been assigned.

I've had an issue before where a lovely consumer router just didn't renew a release until after it had completely expired. It was a dlink something from 10 years ago

Having a weird issue on a 6500.

Two vlans with PIM sparse enabled.

Source traffic from vlan A is sent to receivers on vlan A abd received. No traffic sent to receivers on vlan B.

Sources are active in the mroute table.
IGMP membership reports from vlan B are being received on the switch.

Multicast mac table for 224.0.1.1 shows up in the mac table for vlan A and B

Stumped at this point


Edit: nevermind just removing the vlan and adding it back fixed it.

In my router settings there is something called Static Routes where I can add the IP info, or under LAN setup I can “reserve” the IP address for the phone. Am I on the right track? Which one is the way to go?

Ok so I reserved the IP it had on there, hopefully in 2 hours or so it stays connected. I don’t see that IP anywhere in the phone settings, just the IPv4 address, but the MAC is the same.

Well it just disconnected again. “Registration lost due to VPN failure” was the error, along with “LastTimeIPAddressChanged” “LastTimeVPNConnectivityLost” “ITL Installed”

That would be great, I can get this phone off my desk and never deal with disconnects again. I’m pretty sure IT can set that up via Jabber but the settings are locked down for me to try at the moment.

Yeah I've spent the last few weeks migrating users to using Jabber as a softphone. You need the server software to be v12+ and then setup a phone on CallManager that uses Jabber instead of a hard phone.

The phones can run an internal SSLVPN client to an ASA if they don’t use Expressway with the newer models. You have to set the session timers to not disconnect you every two hours on the ASA for the PhoneVPN endpoint or use different creds. That would be why this happens .
