Mitel IP Phones On Cisco 800 Routers

On a recent project to deploy Mitel IP Phones to teleworkers on Cisco 857 Router we came up with a couple of issues, here is the solution.

The config we used for the DHCP was (anon-omized):

!

ip dhcp pool phone

host 10.x.x.x 255.255.255.240 ! IP For the phone

client-identifier 0108.000F.4512.34 ! MAC of the phone prefixed with 01 for ethernet

option 128 ip 10.10.x.x ! Mitel 3300 ICP

option 129 ip 10.10.x.x ! Mitel 3300 ICP

option 130 ascii "MITEL IP PHONE"

option 132 hex 0000.0001 ! VLAN

option 133 hex 0000.0001 ! QoS Priority

default-router 10.x.x.x ! Router Address

dns-server 10.x.x.x 10.x.x.x ! Internal DNS Servers

!

This was all ok, other than the option 130 kept erroring. It turns out that it is a bug in the Cisco IOS - CSCta85026. We had to backdate to:

c850-advsecurityk9-mz.124-6.T9.bin

As

c850-advsecurityk9-mz.124-15.T9.bin

c850-advsecurityk9-mz.124-15.T10.bin

c850-advsecurityk9-mz.124-15.T11.bin

All suffered from the same bug. Although I have recently seen suggestions to put the ascii into HEX which does not suffer. I will give it a try and report back.

Update: Yes the Hex replacement works;

option 130 hex 4d49.5445.4c20.4950.2050.484f.4e45
