IP phones - Unix DHCP vs Windows DHCP 1

[arenine]

I have my 4620 working using static IP addresses. I want to take the next step and obtain the IP addresses via DHCP. We use a Unix DHCP server. The Unix DHCP server is setup w/ the address range, gateway, subnet mask and the location of the TFTP server.

How do I specify the TFTP server file path?

How do I specify the option 176 (CLan and UDP port 1719)?

get the LAN administrator guide for the 46xx phones and it'll tell you how to do it..

I have the LAN guide but it does not talk about a Unix based DHCP setup.

Well, thats where you as a Unix admin comes into play.. It all deponds on the DHCPD. There are several different ones out there, so you just need to do a option 176 as an ascii based feature..

found some info

bascially you have to define your options

in the dhcpd.conf file you need to make an option

example:

option (optionname) codec 176 = text;
(optionname being what you want to call it)

then

option ipphone "MCIPADD=x.x.x.x, blah blah"





Hope that helps some.

Thanks

We added to #Global Options
option option-176 "MCIPADD=XXX.XXX.XXX.199,TFTPSRVR=XXX.XXX.XXX.197"

We use DHCP version 2.x

works perfectly

awesome, i actually saw the 2.x material in a provision discussion, but i don't deal with unix that much so i figured 3.x was the lastest and greatest and most widely used..
