Hi all,
Can anyone think of a good reason to keep the Polycom "SIP
Settings
in DHCP" screen around?
It is cumbersome to use with sipXecs, and I don't think there's a
good use case for doing so anyway.
Basically, it can be used to configure the Polycom to get the SIP
server address from DHCP. It still requires Line configuration
(Username and Password), but if a SIP server is also
configured then
any DHCP value will be ignored.
In sipXconfig all new Lines (Internal or External) must
include a SIP
server value. You can however go back and clear the SIP
server value
after the Line is created, which would allow a DHCP value
to be used
instead.
There is no reason to do this for an Internal Line though,
because it
will only work if the DHCP value is always exactly the
same as what
sipXconfig would use.
For an External Line it is even quite a stretch. If your
system has
Polycoms with External Lines then each is probably an exception,
rather than many using the same external SIP server. It seems
unlikely to me that an administrator would have a desire
to use DHCP
(instead of sipXconfig) to change the SIP server address that the
External Line on a Polycom registers with.
I propose getting rid of this screen entirely.
If there are no objections then I'll proceed. Let me
know. Thanks.
I don't think there is any use for such a parameter in a sipXecs
configuration.
Make sense to me: yank it. So that means you are not taking
patch for http://track.sipfoundry.org/browse/XCF-1030, right?
Probably not, though I'd like to hear back from the originator before I
close the issue.

I agree.
When we add an internal line with the phone, DHCP parameter is disabled
(default). Whereas while adding external line to the phone, Registration
Server is defined anyways. So no where DHCP option has to be enabled/used.
Its good to remove the "SIP Settings in DHCP" parameter.
Thanks,
Akshata
