Hi Folks,
I'm going a little insane here - hoping someone can suggest a fix.
We have a few (10 or so) SPA504G phones in our NZ office, talking to a local cloud PABX mob. When we first set them up, I wasn't keen on statically configuring them all, given we have no IT support there, so I spent a couple of days playing, and ended up with the following:
1) Local DHCP server sets option 66 to http://ourserver.ourdomain.com/phones/nzphones/XMLDefault504G.cnf.xml
That contains:
<flat-profile>
<Resync_On_Reset>Yes</Resync_On_Reset>
<Resync_Periodic>10</Resync_Periodic>
<Profile_Rule>http://ourserver.outdomain.com/phones/nzphones/spa$MA.xml</Profile_Rule>
</flat-profile>
2) I have a PHP script handling all access to /nzphones/ which uses a template, and a local database, to take the MAC address and shove in all the relevant user-specific configuration - local ports (for reverse NAT), username, password, etc etc. I have the phones set to resync every 24 hours, so that any config updates I do only take 24 hours to get picked up, at the most.
That's all been working great for 6 months, except that one of the NZ staff happened to mention yesterday, that those reboots take about 15 minutes!
So I've been having a bit of a play, and it looks like the phones are initially ignoring the option 66, and trying to do TFTP to our DHCP server?!
Using TCPDump, I'm seeing lots of these:
192.168.64.114.1029 > 192.168.40.254.69: [udp sum ok] 50 RRQ "XMLDefault504G.cnf.xml" octet timeout 10 tsize 0
192.168.64.114.1029 > 192.168.40.254.69: [udp sum ok] 46 RRQ "XMLDefault.cnf.xml" octet timeout 10 tsize 0
I've been trawling through all the results in google, and youtube videos from cisco that I can find, but there's nothing overly in-depth to describe the exact configuration options I should be using..
Anyone happen to be doing something similar with their phones, and have figured this out?
Thanks,
Damien
