Yes, I'm using ftp for my Polycom provisioning.
Here is what I have in my dhcpd.conf file:
option boot-server "ftp://polycom:[email protected]";;
option tftp-server-name "ftp://polycom:[email protected]";;
To be honest, I'm not sure which one is needed, but together, they get the job
done.
Let me know if you need more help.
I owe you one, btw, because I read your blog on getting these beasts
provisioned in the first place. sip:[email protected]
