Hello!
I think my topology theory is sort of working. But I’m having an issue with the phones talking to the server. Or maybe the server talking back to the phone! I have 4 test phones. They are directly connected to the switch that is connected to the server. So there are no extra networking hurdles involved. The ports are on VLAN 5 (My voice vlan). I have confirmed pulling IP address on a laptop, via VLAN5 port, within the range of my DHCP setup. But the phones don’t seem to be pulling one. Here is copy of the tcpdump:
23:32.476470 STP 802.1w, Rapid STP, Flags [Proposal, Learn, Forward, Agreement], bridge-id 8000.00:21:9b:b6:3e:a4.802d, length 43
14:23:32.880315 IP 10.87.12.6.5405 > 10.87.12.5.5406: UDP, length 49
14:23:33.889515 IP 10.87.12.6.5405 > 10.87.12.5.5406: UDP, length 49
14:23:34.476474 STP 802.1w, Rapid STP, Flags [Proposal, Learn, Forward, Agreement], bridge-id 8000.00:21:9b:b6:3e:a4.802d, length 43
So, it’s doing this over and over but no response back from the server giving it ACK and IP address. Any ideas? I have changed DHCP from yes, only phones to yes in general. That’s when the laptop was able. I changed it back to yes, only phones, but I am still not getting the phones to connect to the server. So is there something i need to alter or change in the moby dick configuration? Or is it something else I may be missing? Is there some extra step I missed in order to get the phones to talk on the VLAN and pull the configuration?
