Endpoints on ports from non-ethernet based VLANs are missing

This article explains the issue where all MAC endpoints are missing for ports that are associated with non-ethernet based VLANs such as VOIP based VLANs and trunk ports because the VMMembership table is not showing attached ports for these VLANs.

Overview

This article explains the issue where all MAC endpoints are missing for ports that are associated with non-ethernet based VLANs such as VOIP based VLANs and trunk ports because the VMMembership table is not showing attached ports for these VLANs.

Cause

When a device is using VOIP VLANs or trunk ports assigned to a VLAN, the vmmembershipsummarytable (1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.68.1.2.1) table does not show the VLAN to port association information as this table only reports non-trunk and non-VOIP based  VLANs. If the device has either of these VLANs, the results in this table will back as zero. This value means that there are no ports assigned to that VLAN.
 

When this occurs, none of the endpoints from that VLAN will show up in polling. The reason for this is that UDT does not know that it needs to conduct a VLAN context poll against the device as it believes that there is nothing attached to that VLAN. This results in ports in missing endpoints on a VOIP plan or on a trunk port, while access ports on default or ethernet VLANs show up with no problems.
 

Resolution

This is a known issue. You will need to upgrade to either upgrade straight to UDT 3.2.4, or if you are unable to upgrade to that version, upgrade to UDT 3.2.3 and apply the UDT 3.2.3 HotFix 1 and this will introduce a new method of gathering vlan information through context polling. You can find the link to the HotFix in your Customer Portal.

If the event the hotfix is already in place check Troubleshooting the capture of voice vlans in UDT.
