Yes, this is still one of the unsolved mysteries I wanted to find out about Polycom provisioning despite using it for a few years now. I used vsftpd and initially used boot server opt 66 and type string but could not get it to work.
I asked our guru in DTW and he told me to use 129 and lo and behold, it worked but I was not told why when I asked and I never had time to find out why. Karl, if you could find the answer, please share it with us. > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:asterisk-users- > [email protected]] On Behalf Of Karl Fife > Sent: Thursday, 18 March 2010 10:30 AM > To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion > Subject: [asterisk-users] Polycom DHCP Option 66 FTP provisioning > > Is anyone successfully using DHCP option 66 to specify an FTP [sic] > provisioning of Polycom Sounpoint phones instead of TFTP?
