Hi Chris,
Thanks for sharing!
But to be clear, you are not doing this on AstLinux, correct?
While almost everything in your system would work in AstLinux, the missing
piece is setting "option tftp-server-name" special for Aastra MAC addresses.
We use dnsmasq and I'm not sure if our "/mnt/kd/dnsmasq.static" could be edited
in such a way to support the same kind of MAC conditional logic.
Or, maybe I'm missing something.
Thanks again...
Lonnie
