Michael,
Maybe I am not understanding your question, are you saying that when you
configure your phone with a static IP address, you cannot find the boot
server and when in DHCP you can?
The phone uses DHCP to get its IP address. In the phone's server
params, I enter the IP address of the tftp server. Without the
"next-server" entry in the DHCP configs, the phone says it cannot find
the boot server (and uses the previous configuration). However, when
"next-server" in DHCP is set with the tftp IP, the phone loads its
configuration from tftp and boots normally.
I'd like to not have to set the tftp address in DHCP, because I don't
always have access to the DHCP server. Is there someway to tell the
phone to override the DHCP server setting? Is there something I'm
missing with the phone's network config?
Thanks
If you are having problems with the
phone having a static IP address, make sure it is getting the correct
IP, subnet, gateway and DNS. If your DNS is incorrect for example, you
won't be able to find the server you entered, since there will be
nothing to point the phone where to go.
If you are talking about the actual boot server location, that needs to
be static as far as I know. It isn't like DHCP addressing where it gets
the DNS information from the host. It's a parameter that needs to be
set. If your TFTP server is changing IPs I would strongly suggest giving
it a static IP. It will make your life a lot easier.
