VPN Changes Do Not Get Auto-Provisioned - joe1st - 03-17-2023 02:49 AM

We have about 30 different sites deployed, all using Yealink phones connected via the built-in OpenVPN functionality. All phones were provisioned via auto-provisioning which correctly downloaded all settings, including the VPN files.

The issue is that if we ever make a change to the VPN (new certificate, for example), the phone does not update the VPN. All other settings that we change on the phone are quickly updated via auto-provisioning, but the VPN simply doesn't get updated. It will keep the original configuration unless we factory default the phone and re-provision.

This has been an ongoing issue for years now, over multiple firmware versions.

Hi,

What does Yealink support say about this?
I assume you have created a support ticket for this?

We have had the same problem. Recently, a number of our vpn certificates expired, and the only way we could get the phones (t48-s and t57-w) to grab the new certificates was to factory reset them. This is very frustrating and time consuming.

I hadn't thought to check with Yealink support, though. So if I don't get a response here, I may try that route.

I am also facing the same problem but have not contacted the yealink team. What have they told you about this?
