</div>I've done this on a number of different phones, using both the ISC dhcpd<br>
server as well as dnsmasq. I've never encountered any problems with it.<br></blockquote><div><br>Could you then mix different brands and models ?<br> <br></div><div>I think assigning a given address or an address pool to certain phones is quite easy.<br>
The trouble is to somehow forward every TFTP request coming from this address to a given subdirectory.<br><br>For example, Thomson ST2030S phones would query a kind of bootfile (whose name can be changed with ISC DHCP server options) but it would later query another config file which (apparently) must reside on TFTP root.<br>
<br>Sometimes, I wondered if I should have several logical IP addresses for my physical TFTP server so that I could "forward" each TFTP request to appropriate subdirectory : if TFTP request is received in address1, then "root" directory is /srv/tftp/dir1<br>
and so on ...<br><br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><font color="#888888">
