Hi all I have a few Polycom 331's but after following allot of advice I can't get them to provision from a dhcp boot server. We have a sonicwall router in place. I can press setup and set the FTP boot server to my * box. From there th phones boot fine. But I cannot get them to autoprovision. I have tried dhcp option 66=ipaddres. 66=FTP://PlcmSpIp:PlcmSpIp at 192.168.1.1/ u ahve also tried options 129, 150, 160, etc. I realise that this is not an asterisk issue. But does anyone have any experience on this (particularly using sonicwall routers for Dhcp)?
Use lowercase for ftp:// . That might be the issue but it should be easy to test. Do your FTP server logs shpw anything?

Your string and boot-option look good. In the SonicWall config, its a two step process: - create the new boot option under "DHCP Server" menu > "Advanced" button > "Add Option" - assign it to your lease scope under "DHCP Server" menu > "DHCP Server Lease Scopes" section > "Edit" button > "Advanced" tab > "DHCP Generic Options". Works on all my SonicWall TZ-200 with SonicOS Enhanced 5.6.2.0-2o.. but I recall older versions being good too.

Did you get this to work? If not, shoot me an email. We use the Polycom's,
and I can send you our config file.

Subject: [asterisk-users] Polycom dhcp boot
Hi all
I have a few Polycom 331's but after following allot of advice I can't
get them to provision from a dhcp boot server. We have a sonicwall
router in place.
I can press setup and set the FTP boot server to my * box. From there
th phones boot fine. But I cannot get them to autoprovision.
I have tried dhcp option 66=ipaddres. 66=FTP://PlcmSpIp:PlcmSpIp at 192.168.1.1/
u ahve also tried options 129, 150, 160, etc.
I realise that this is not an asterisk issue. But does anyone have any
experience on this (particularly using sonicwall routers for Dhcp)?
