Scanning IP Telephone Firmware

The File Server application Status Web page has a built-in scan function that checks the current status of IP telephone firmware. MV_Scan_Console invokes a sequential set of SNMP queries to a range of IP addresses and stores the results in both detail and summary format.

You can set the start and stop range. There is an option to set a maximum count of the telephones searched with a default = 1000.

To search a range of IP addresses, create a text file with the start and stop range. Place the text file in the “Scan” subdirectory. Enter the file name in the Web form. This method overrides the start and stop range settings.

The format is a list of ranges formatted with start and stop IP addresses separated by a space on separate lines. For example:

192.168.0.1 192.168.0.128

192.168.35.27 192.168.35.97

10.0.0.1 10.0.0.50

NOTE: The Scan subdirectory of the application has examples of a parameter file.

To scan, press the SCAN button on the Web page. Because the scan might take some time, refresh the page to check for progress or completion.

NOTE: Windows XP scanning might produce an invalid address range. When scanning an invalid network routing address, your Net-SNMP snmpget utility version can create a Windows XP error message. Although scanning continues automatically and there is no consequence to the error message, the message must be closed manually. Contact Avaya support if you encounter problems.
