When adding an NTP server under Devices->Network Parameters, you are
given the option of entering an IP address or an FQDN. This is then
populated to all of the gateways and phones .ini files to be downloaded
to the devices.
I checked the Audiocodes MP-118 FXO configuration and this only
allows the NTP setting to be configured as an IP Address. Chris and I
have confirmed that the Polycom LG Nortel phones accept both IP Address
and FQDN.
For DHCP server, the ntp-server configuration in dhcpd.conf MUST
be an IP Address.
So, we have two choices:
1. Only allow an IP address to be entered for NTP Server (as we do for
DNS server, which we currently don't check for).
2. If an FQDN is entered, resolve this to an ip address, and store this
in the database. Then we can use this ntpipaddress to populate
dhcpd.conf and audiocodes ini files.
I think option 2 is the better, although it comes with the problem that
if we can't (for any reason) resolve the fqdn, then the ntp settings
won't be configured for DHCP or audiocodes.
Any comments?
Paul.
