IP Phones randomly Rebooting

martynch1
Level 1
Level 1

We are having a few issues here with Call Manager 5.1 whereas the phones have started to reboot randomly, they have been fine for over 18months and to the best of my knowleagde nothing has changed on the network, below are the debug logs taken from the phone: -

10:53:13a 10: Name=SEP00260B5D595D Load= SCCP11.8-3-3SR2S Last=TCP-timeout

10:53:44a 10: Name=SEP00260B5D595D Load= SCCP11.8-3-3SR2S Last=TCP-timeout

10:53:44a 18: Name=SEP00260B5D595D Load= SCCP11.8-3-3SR2S Last=Failback

9:44:51p 25: Name=SEP00260B5D595D Load= SCCP11.8-3-3SR2S Last=Initialized

11:34:51a 10: Name=SEP00260B5D595D Load= SCCP11.8-3-3SR2S Last=TCP-timeout

11:49:42a 10: Name=SEP00260B5D595D Load= SCCP11.8-3-3SR2S Last=TCP-timeout

What would cause these timeouts?

Thanks

Martyn

Just when you think you've found the exact problem..... no resolution? I've got same problem here on CCM8.0.3 with 7942 firmware 9.0.3 phones. Heard mention of QoS issues and ASA version/SCCPv19 issues.

Martyn, Daniel,Steve - did you guys fix this?

Do you have port security enabled on your switch, if so what is is set to

Martyn

I'll check Martyn. Awaiting customer to confirm firewall settings too-heard of ASA causing issues with newer firmwares.

Rich,

Upon further investigation, we determined that only the 7937 conference phones were resetting

Changing the access VLAN to be the same as the voice VLAN fixed the issue (recommended by TAC after weeks of troubleshooting)

Hi Steve,

I'm trying to understand the recommendation by TAC regarding the fix to your issue. Did they explain why ?

Thanks

We have the issue of phones resetting randomly in a CMBE6000 system with only 48 phones connected.  There are 4 locations, 3 connected via EPL and 1 location via point to point T1.

All locations, including the main site are seeing sporadic phone resetting.  All the phones are either 7942 or 7962 with SCCP42.9-1-1SR1S app load.

CCM version is 8.5

Over the past month I have initiated two TAC calls.  The following has been done with no resolution to the problem:

  • Increase the 'Station Keepalive Interval' to 300 ms from the default 30 ms
  • Erased all of the QoS settings on every swtich and router and utilized Cisco AutoQoS
  • Checked cabling to the CCM/Phones, etc.
  • Set all the phones to Delayed according to the following:

Geometric TCP

The Cisco Unified IP Phone firmware 7.2(1) introduced a Geometric TCP mechanism to permit IP Phones to measure the round-trip delay between the IP Phone and Unified CM, then adapt the keepalive timeout value. This provided a very accurate failover mechanism when the network delay is consistent.

However, if the network delay is inconsistent, this mechanism may cause the IP Phones to inaccurately attempt failover. The Cisco Unified IP Phone firmware 8.4(2) introduces the ability for the Network Administrator to disable this behavior, if necessary, through the Detect Unified CM Connection Failure parameter defined on the IP Phone device configuration. The default value is Normal; this Geometric TCP mechanism can be disabled if the parameter is set to Delayed.

Has anyone resolved this issue?

Can you your switch config please

I'm assuming you want to see the QoS settings:

Michael,

  Did you ever find a resolution to your phone resetting? If so, do you mind sharing. We are having the same issue.

Thanks,

Jason

Hi Jason,

Yes we did.  Our system was a CMBE5K running Call Manager 8.5.  After several months of back and forth with Cisco TAC increasing Keep Alive Timers and the reviewing QoS on the network infrastructure and finally trying to send them multiple packet captures and traces from RTMT out of frustration from not finding a resolution and at odd's with the TAC team I simply upgraded the system to 8.6 and the problem imeediately went away.

So the actual resolution is not known in my case.  Could have been a corrupt operating system?  Bug in the 8.5 or the phone firmware shipped with that version?

I can't say for sure but it seams logical that if the problem was never there before and no major changes to the network, etc. have been made then maybe rebuildig/reinstalling the system and restoring a backup or upgrading the system may be the resolution.  8.5 to 8.6 is a refresh upgrade which from my understanding completely reinstalls the operating system which would have eliminated any corruption in the file system.
