The Device Connectivity - Moved form displays the previous and last known network locations for moved IP devices. The network location is indicated by the following parameters:
the MAC (Media Access Control) address and port of the Layer 2 switch - if Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) or Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) configured as the L2 Connectivity Detection Protocol
This form lists only moved IP devices that have not been acknowledged ("Move Acknowledged" set to "No"). Use this form to track moved IP devices and ensure that system programming— such as CESID information— is maintained. Most MITEL IP devices support location detection.
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) and/or Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) must be enabled wherever Mitel IP devices will be connected to your network. To find out if and which protocols are enabled, contact your Network Administrator.
If the system cannot determine the MAC or Chassis ID and port, it displays one of the following messages in the Previous or Last Known MAC address or Chassis ID and port fields:
"Unknown"— the firmware load of the IP device is out-of-date and cannot detect STP and/or CDP and/or LLDP data.
"Not supported"— STP and/or CDP and/or LLDP are not enabled on the network.
