[Asterisk-Users] Polycom Phones & shorter than /24 netmasks
Has anybody tried to use a Polycom phone (I have 500s and 600s) with a netmask shorter than /24? (A network bigger than 255.255.255.0). We've run out of IPs in our initial /24 network, and I'd like to expand it to 255.255.248.0. When I set it to 255.255.248.0 I can ping the phone while the bootloader has control. As soon as the SIP application starts, I stop getting ping responses. Phone never registers. 255.255.254.0 seems to work, 255.255.252.0 doesn't. My printers, servers, desktops, switches ... Everything else is fine. Comments? -- Charlie Watts cwatts@mercurypay.com Mercury Payment Systems - Information Technology 970-385-3187, 800-846-4472 x 3187

Can you try a 'more standard' boundary? Like 255.255.0.0 or 255.0.0.0 ??? If so it (polycom) may not understand CIDR. You may want to look at implementing a VLAN... -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Charlie Watts Sent: Tuesday, June 07, 2005 12:25 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Polycom Phones & shorter than /24 netmasks Has anybody tried to use a Polycom phone (I have 500s and 600s) with a netmask shorter than /24?

Interesting. I wonder if only classful things work. I'll report back when I have more info. Thanks for the datapoint.
