Some Cisco phones need DHCP option 150. /b On Nov 19, 2009, at 10:46 AM, Dave Stevenson wrote:
Metik,
thanks a lot for the tip, I will certainly look at it, particularly if it does DHCP too.
At the moment, I use my ADSL Router to provide DHCP to the network but I've just discovered that you can't configure options in its DHCP server to point to the TFTP server for the phone. At the moment, I have to have the phone set to a static IP address to be able to configure the TFTP server address which is not as flexible as using DHCP. I had thought about changing over to use Windows Server DHCP services but it sounds like ttpd32 would do the trick.
I just need to decide whether I want all of my machines to rely on getting their IP address from another PC - it feels like having DHCP in the router is more robust.
