If I'm not mistaken, Option 66 in DHCP tells the phones where the provisioning files are located. Is it not the case that the Snom phones just need to put their provisioning files in the same directory where Polycom's are located, and Snom phones should find them there with the Option 66 information? IF they don't work that way, it seems that is the issue that needs to be resolved. The rest of the phones that auto provision work that way - Nortel, LG, Linksys, etc.

I belive this is the case of Polycom phones too. For a windows server it is perfectly possible to configure snom phones for auto provisioning. This is what I'm currently using. I don't know if it's possible to archive the same result of dhcpd.conf choosing different options for different mac. In case it's not possible, if someone want to use polycom and snom on the same system ... in my opinion it's better to use a dhcpd on sipxecs or in another linux machine.

What is unclear is how to implement it on anything other than a linux dhcp server. We can certainly put it in the default dhcpd.conf file, but it becomes part of the explanation of how/why snom provisioning doesnt work if they dont add the code to their linux dhcp server somewhere else or "how" to implement it on a windows dhcp server (is that even possible)?

I'm perfectly aware that some people use another dhcp server, so I do. But at least in some cases there would be no need to configure anything with a text editor to have a snom phone work. _______________________________________________ sipx-users mailing list [email protected] List Archive: http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-users/ -- Michael Picher eZuce Director of Technical Services O.978-296-1005 X2015 <tel:978-296-1005%20X2015> M.207-956-0262 @mpicher <http://twitter.com/mpicher> www.ezuce.com _______________________________________________ sipx-users mailing list [email protected] List Archive: http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-users/ -- ====================== Tony Graziano, Manager Telephone: 434.984.8430 sip: [email protected] Fax: 434.465.6833 Email: [email protected] LAN/Telephony/Security and Control Systems Helpdesk: Telephone: 434.984.8426 sip: [email protected] Helpdesk Contract Customers: http://support.myitdepartment.net Blog: http://blog.myitdepartment.net Linked-In Profile: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/tony-graziano/14/4a6/7a4 Ask about our Internet Fax services! _______________________________________________ sipx-users mailing list [email protected] List Archive: http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-users/
