I've run across a couple of issues that could be considered design errors on Nortel's part. I've received the all too familiar answer "design intent".
They both relate to full DHCP mode. Out of the box, the phones - 1120e,
1140e - are DHCP full. The problem comes in when you want to use a voice VLAN. VLAN out of the box is set for none, rather than auto (or DHCP depending on FW version. This means going into the config menu on every phone when they are deployed - in my case around 700 phones. I've tried to figure out if there's a way to feed it a config command in a file via the same path as ENABLE_BT. I don't know what else is able to be adjusted via this path besides bluetooth. Kinda silly on NT's part, as most using full DHCP will set up a VLAN.The second issue is a screwup relating to the use of DHCP option 60 - TFTP Server. Option 60 is a string. The IP sets interpret option 60 as a four octet address. The 2211 WLAN sets interpret the TFTP address correctly as a string. The IP sets - 1120e, 1140e - wind up with a wierd address as a result of interpreting the first four characters of the string as ASCII.
Anyone out there know of a way to alter the VLAN to auto via the config file? If you don't want to put it out publicly, send me an email to snipped-for-privacy@bellsouth.net, and I'll reply with my real address. Thanks.
