[asterisk-users] Avaya 9608G and DHCP and TFTP and HTTP oh my

[Thomas Peters]

Right-- I've seen the Avaya document you cite below. It says "To administer DHCP option 242, make a copy of an existing option 176" but I don't have any example of option 176 or 242 to copy, and don't know what to do to /etc/dhcpd.conf to make it offer option 242. 

Then there's this long table of parameters to use with (presumably) option 242.

I was hoping someone had a working minimal example of a dhcp option 242 config I could copy and modify.

They only have minimal function? No speed dials, BLFs, etc?

So you might want to start without configurations from DHCP. Enter the file/http server in the phone manually and point it to a http server containing the needed firmware files and a correct 46xxsettings.txt for you asterisk.

Avaya uses other dhcp options for these phone (242):

BTW these phones are a terrible waste when used with Asterisk. They only provided minimal functionality (calls and transfer).
