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 -- Michiel van Baak http://michiel.vanbaak.info [EMAIL PROTECTED] GnuPG key: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x7E0B9A2D "Why is it drug addicts and computer afficionados are both called users?" _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation sponsored by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
