[Asterisk-Users] Polycom Phones & shorter than /24 netmasks

 Can you try a 'more standard' boundary?

Like 255.255.0.0 or 255.0.0.0 ???

If so it (polycom) may not understand CIDR.

You may want to look at implementing a VLAN...

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Polycom Phones & shorter than /24 netmasks

Has anybody tried to use a Polycom phone (I have 500s and 600s) with a
netmask shorter than /24? (A network bigger than 255.255.255.0). We've
run out of IPs in our initial /24 network, and I'd like to expand it to
255.255.248.0.

When I set it to 255.255.248.0 I can ping the phone while the bootloader
has control. As soon as the SIP application starts, I stop getting ping
responses. Phone never registers.

255.255.254.0 seems to work, 255.255.252.0 doesn't.


My printers, servers, desktops, switches ... Everything else is fine.

Comments?
