You are correct I hadnt done this on any of my astlinux boxes.. But I was thinking you had dhcpd in the build stream.. Although I havent looked at build options in a while... Buildroot broke for me a bit back when I upgraded the fedora on my dev server.. Not sure why I thought it was there(dhcpd)... I work on so many different things I think my mind is a DHCP server sometimes just handing out addresses lol...
The one thing to remember about my setup is that in your MAC.cfg files you explicitly blank out or specify a new action uri startup: in my case I have all phones run a script on startup "getlights" that makes sure any activated feature buttons.. (cover / forward) etc that have LED commands will restore to their previous values.. Another thought to note is have the DHCP server be the LAST process to start up after a failure, thus making sure the phones don’t appear to be working or cant DL their data as they almost always boot first after a power failure... I want the PBX up before the phones can come online.. The easiest way is preventing DHCP till you are ready for them... Helps to avoid support calls after a system failure.. An orderly reboot sends sip notifies to them all just after stopping the DHCP server... So a PBX reboot includes endpoint reboots... Perhaps overkill but seems to help -Christopher On 2/24/12 2:10 PM, "Michael Keuter" <li...@mksolutions.info> wrote: > >Am 24.02.2012 um 19:52 schrieb Lonnie Abelbeck: > >> 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.
