configuring ebox dhcp for shoretel voip

[coax31]

I want to use ebox as replacement for some Windows DCs at my company, our netowrk uses a Shoretel voip phone system and we configuered Windows dhcp to hand out a special scope option 156 which hands out a  ftp address ( ftp=10.1.1.245 )to the phones so they can load their configuration. Is there anyway to do this with ebox dhcp?

You will want to edit he dhcp.conf.mas file and add the ftp option.  Be warned this will be overwritten when you update ebox so back it up.

Personally, i would run a separate dhcp server on my viop server and vlan the phones.

This is a Ubuntu 8.04 server does it have a dhcp.conf.mas file?

The stubs (file configuration templates) for DHCP module are in /usr/share/ebox/stubs/dhcp/. I think subnet.mas file is the one you want to modify.

Hope this helps.

sorry to be such a pain, but how and where would I add the ftp option to this file below:


root@ubuntuDTC:/usr/share/ebox/stubs/dhcp# vi dhcpd.conf.mas
Parameters:

    ifaces - Hash
    real_ifaces - Hash
    thinClientOption - Boolean indicating whether the thin client
    options have been used or not
    dnsone - String the default primary DNS server
    dnstwo - String the default secondary DNS server
</%doc>
<%args>
        %ifaces
        %real_ifaces
        $thinClientOption => 0
        $dnsone => ""
        $dnstwo => ""
</%args>

# extra options
# RFC3442 routes
option rfc3442-classless-static-routes code 121 = array of integer 8;
                                                              3,0-1         Top
option domain-name-servers <% $dnsone %>\
%               if(length($dnstwo) != 0) {
, <% $dnstwo %>;
%               }else{
;
%               }
%       }

% if($thinClientOption) {
allow booting;
allow bootp;
% }

default-lease-time 1800;
max-lease-time 7200;




%       foreach my $iface (keys(%real_ifaces)) {
<& dhcp/shared-network.mas, iface => $iface, ifaces => \%ifaces, vifaces => $real_ifaces{$iface} &>

sorry to be such a pain, but how and where would I add the ftp option to this file below:

Javi is right, it's the subnet.mas file that needs to be edited.

Add this line to your subnet.

Code: [Select]

option shoretel-server code 156 = string;
option shoretel-server "ftpserver=10.1.1.245";


Be careful where you add the option line:

Code: [Select]

                range <% $range->{'from'} %> <% $range->{'to'} %>;
%       }
<----ADD LINES HERE---->
        }

I grabbed this from a quick google [1] of shoretel dhcp config...I can't verify the accuracy.

Well I added the lines and the phone doesn't get the ftp IP assigned,what else can i try?

[sixstone]

From your DHCP clients, is the FTP server reachable?

Try it using a FTP client from a DHCP client which is a computer:

Code: [Select]

$ ftp <ftpServer>
