[asterisk-users] Polycom getting DCHP address from wrong VLAN

[Sebastien Thomas]

That switch doesn't seem to support CDP, so the Polycom phone has no way of figuring out which VLAN to tag itself to "automagically".  It will grab the primary VLAN unless you specify otherwise in the phone's setup.

On boot of the phone, go into setup, default password 456, there's an option in there to specify the VLAN ID.  You can force your VLAN 50.  Should bring you up.

If your switch had done CDP (such as some higher end switches), the phone tells the switch "Im a phone" and the switch has a voice-vlan configuration which would then push that VLAN to the Polycom.  We did this kind of setup in a large scale (100+) installation.

Bests,
Seb
