I’m trying to set up a local network of Cisco phones. They are 8811 and 8841 models. I have installed asterisk successfully and following this. I am assuming there must be further setup because my phones are stuck at “Connecting”.
Asterisk says they’re unreachable. That makes sense since they say connecting.
Does anyone know if I need to set it up further or why it may not be working?

That Stackoverflow link is from over 10 years ago and uses chan_sip
(sip.conf) which is now deprecated, unsupported and no longer in the latest
versions of Asterisk. You should be using PJSIP instead.
I’m not familiar with those specific models of phones, but as soon as
someone mentions Cisco phones, the first question I ask is whether they are
running SIP firmware and not SCCP. Getting some Cisco phones to even talk SIP
is non-trivial (even finding the firmware is not easy), so let’s clarify whether
you are sure these phones are talking SIP before looking further.

Thank you for clarifying that. I’ll look again at the documentation about those SIP components.
Yeah, so they aren’t using CUCM and have SIP firmware flashed on them, but someone on Reddit pointed me to a website where I can get a patch for asterisk. They have documentation to get Cisco phones to work with asterisk.
I’ll try to set it up tomorrow, so I haven’t solved this yet
