Hi - I've been trying to set up my Polycom phones to get the boot server info (tftp-server-address) from DHCP on a Cisco router. I've previously just specified it manually on the phone, and that works well enough, but I need to change now (because of the number and geographic locations of the phones).
I can actually get it to work just fine (using option 66 on the Cisco router), if I change the DHCP menu on the Polycom phone to show "BootSrv Type: String". That's great, but that's not a default setting, and I don't want to have to change any settings on the phone. I want the phones to be able to provision fully, out-of-the-box, with nothing but the info from DHCP. If I leave the default setting (BootSrv Type: IP Address), and tell the Cisco router to send the boot serverinfo as an IP rather than as a string, nothing happens. The phone just says "Could not contact boot server, using existing configuration", but according to the FTP logs and ethereal, the phone doesn't actually try to contact the boot server at all. I've tried various version of the bootrom, but nothing has worked so far. Has anybody gotten this to work? (Cisco router DHCP and Polycom boot server) Thanks, Noah _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation sponsored by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
