The Device Connectivity - All form displays the network location of IP devices registered with the controller. The network location is indicated by the MAC (Media Access Control) address and port of the Layer 2 switch.
Use this form to track moved IP devices and ensure that system programming— such as CESID information— is maintained. Most IP devices are supported.
Use this form when performing the following tasks:
For more information:
For some hardware manufacturers or network configurations, the STP Layer 2 switch returns the port's designated port number and not the physical port number when queried by the IP device. This designated port number is assigned to the port during STP convergence. A CDP Layer 2 switch always returns the physical port number.
In order for the system to detect device connectivity information, Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and/or Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) must be enabled wherever Mitel IP devices will be connected to your network. To find out if STP and/or CDP are enabled, contact your Network Administrator.
If the system cannot determine the MAC and port, it displays one of the following messages in the Previous or Last Known MAC address and port fields:
"Unknown"— the firmware load of the IP device is out-of-date and cannot detect STP and/or CDP data.
"Not supported"— STP and/or CDP are not enabled on the network.

Previous STP L2 Port MAC |
System-generated, protected field. Displays the MAC address of the STP Layer 2 switch where the IP device was connected before being moved. |
|
Previous STP Port Identifier |
System-generated, protected field. Displays the port number on the STP Layer 2 switch where the IP device was connected before being moved. |
|
Previous CDP L2 Port MAC |
System-generated, protected field. Displays the MAC address of the CDP Layer 2 switch where the IP device was connected before being moved. |
|
Previous CDP Port Identifier |
System-generated, protected field. Displays the port number on the CDP Layer 2 switch where the IP device was connected before being moved. |
|
Previous CDP L2 IP Address |
System-generated, protected field. Displays the IP address of the CDP Layer 2 switch where the IP device was connected before being moved. |
|
Last Known STP L2 Port MAC |
System-generated, protected field. Displays the MAC address of the STP Layer 2 switch where the IP device was connected on first registration or registration after a move. |
|
Last Known STP Port Identifier |
System-generated, protected field. Displays the port number on the Layer 2 switch where the IP device was connected on first registration or registration after a move. |
|
Last Known CDP L2 Port MAC |
System-generated, protected field. Displays the MAC address of the CDP Layer 2 switch where the IP device was connected on first registration or registration after a move. |
|
Last Known CDP Port Identifier |
System-generated, protected field. Displays the port number on the CDP Layer 2 switch where the IP device was connected on first registration or registration after a move. |
|
Last Known CDP L2 IP Address |
System-generated, protected field. Displays the IP address of the CDP Layer 2 switch where the IP device was connected on first registration or registration after a move. |
|
State |
System-generated, protected field. "In Service" or "Out of Service". This data used by the system to determine whether multiple in-service devices are connected through the same Layer 2 MAC and Port. Useful for identifying system configuration issues. |
|
Move Acknowledged |
"Not Applicable"(no move detected), "Yes", or "No". If "No", select "Yes" to acknowledge a move. |
No |
