Hi Damon -> Has anyone been able to get the IP501 to discover the FTP server IP > address (via dhcp or dns) and download 100% of the config from a > provisioning server?Sure, works great! I'm not sure if you got the TFTP config from the gentleman who suggested it, but this is really dependent on what DHCP server you are using. For example, we use Cisco routers, and the option to add is: option 66 ascii "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" where the xxx's are the IP address (I don't think DNS names will work). ISC's DHCP server is a little different: option tftp-server-name "XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX"; Yes, it should be tftp-server-name, even if you use FTP (or HTTPS, I believe). - Noah
Yep, been there too. Most cases are MS IIS, so username case is ignored.

In dhcpd.conf: option tftp-server-name "x.x.x.x" Yes, I know it says tftp but actually this is the entry used for ftp as well. Also, for reasons known only to your chosen deity, Polycom have chosen to use a mixed-case username for the default ftp user. Not all FTP servers will accommodate this. _____ From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Damon Estep Sent: Friday, 24 February 2006 12:09 AM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: [Asterisk-Users] auto provision of IP501 polycom Has anyone been able to get the IP501 to discover the FTP server IP address (via dhcp or dns) and download 100% of the config from a provisioning server?

Hi Matt -> I have the same problem. I'm running CentOS, which comes > with vsftpd, do you know of anyway to do this using vsftpd?I know what you mean. I run TaoLinux on all our * machines, so they all had vsftpd installed with the OS.
