Polycom Trio 8500 DHCP Failed

[Anonymous]

Dear Community,

A recently purchased Polycom Trio 8500 is acting weird.

Firmware version: 5.7.2.3205

MAC address: 64:16:7F:1D:8D:5C

The symptom: The phone is set up in our Voice VLAN, where every other Polycom devices are (CX600, CX3000) and the device only once could communicate with the DCHP server, acquiring IP address and provision the phone in our system (I configured it beforehand), but since a restart it says DHCP Failed and there is no network connectivity even when I set up manually the IP address and other server options. I tried to factory reset the phone and re-configure everything but since that particular restart, it does not want to work at all. Tried on the same network port I used to configure the device, tried another port, but no luck.

Is there anything I'm missing?

Looking forward to your help,

Csaba

*** UPDATE: I have rebooted the phone several times. The phone boots, acquires the correct IP address/time. Then it says "invalid provisioning". The phone restarts one more time with the same symptom, then at the 3 rd restart it says Time/date out of sync and DHCP failed.

Hello @Csaba,

welcome to the Polycom Community.

Both the community's Must Read First and the community's FAQ reference the basic minimum information a new or follow up post should contain.

This ensures the questions having to be asked are limited and any new or follow up post contains the right amount of details to ensure any voluntary participant within the community does not spend additional time chasing basic information.

As a reminder the basic information asked for:

• Provide the exact Software Version of your Phone
• Provide the Phone Model
• Provide the Call Platform (aka openSIP,Skype for Business Online, Skype for Business on Premise, Lync)
• Additional Polycom Infrastructure (RPRM,PDMS or BToE)
• If applicable provide a backup of the phone in question

UC Software 4.0.0 or later via the Web Interface Utilities > Phone Backup & Restore > Phone Backup > Phone Backup

• If possible provide a Log and either attach them or use the Code Tag.Consult the Troubleshooting Section found within the FAQ if applicable
• If possible provide the MAC Address or Serial of the device
• Provide details if the issue is a day 1 issue or only happened after an upgrade or any other relevant details

Whilst providing some of these details may not directly impact any possible answer the community can provide, it does enable Polycom to have an overview of the current software used. In addition other details allow us to check logs or look up a potential support partners if an issue needs to come into support. It also enables us to verify the entitlement for using features.

As our Phones have far more sophisticated abilities to detect VLAN's, DHCP Options and many more features a log would be of interest.

The problem's been resolved.

In my case there was a problem with the VLAN. We have a dedicated voice VLAN and I had to to to the phone's VLAN Menu and turn off VLAN Discovery Mode and it resolved the issue.
