[Asterisk-Users] cisco phones problems

[Carlos Alperin]

This sounds like you have CDP disable.

Cisco CDP is taken care of the ability to see the phones.

You cannot disable that if you use a Cisco switch, but you need to stop CDP
on ports that going outside your network.

It works like keepalive.

Hi,

I had the same problem with only 1 Cisco 7905 every once in
a while. All problems were solved as soon as I reverted the
phones to SCCP and started using chan_sccp.so
There's no lag anymore between the phones and asterisk.

So maybe this is an extra reason to suspect the firmware
