hosted Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 It would be cool you could have a setting to tell the TFTP system if the phone was internal or external. so the PnP system would use the appropriate IP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodia PBX Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 It would be cool you could have a setting to tell the TFTP system if the phone was internal or external. so the PnP system would use the appropriate IP. It should do that (of course). It should be possible to provision internal and external phones through the same TFTP socket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hosted Posted November 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 yes however how would the PNP system know to use the internal number 10.1.1.1 or the external number 208.208.208.208 as the proxy? have to be some sort of internal/external toggle in the system.

The source if the TFTP address can tell the PBX what interface to use. BTW there is nothing like an "internal" or "external" address. Think about a system that has ten IP addresses (LAN, WAN, VPN1, VPN2, WiFi, IPv6, ...). The OS routing table is responsible for determining what IP address to use.

hosted Posted November 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 yes. but what happens if the PBX only has a local IP (in the DMZ scenerio) and I want to have a couple offsite phones. Right now I manually config the phones. but if they could be created via PNP TFTP that would save time. Most everyone else cant do this, but in my mind it seems simple thing to do.

You can still override the OS routing mechanisms, and that also applies to stuff like TFTP (see http://wiki.pbxnsip.com/index.php/Office_w...ic_IP_addresses). A typical case is DMZ. And, of course, DMZ is a bad thing to do in SIP environment. It is a lot easier to have a routable IP address, a public IPv4 or IPv6 address.

hosted Posted November 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 yea but how does pbxnsip TFTP PNP know extension 100-110 are internal (not to use the public IP as a proxy) and extension 111-112 are remote ip phones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
