[cisco-voip] anyone out there using Infoblox as their VOIP DHCP/TFTP

[Ed Leatherman]

Having just installed it recently we haven't yet worked out every kink but
I'd give it a tentative B+/A-.. we're having an issue with the DHCP failover
right now, if they can get it resolved for us I'd definitely have a positive
opinion of the product.

The issue we're having currently is that with the failover configuration you
set up 2 helper addresses. For approx half the IP Phones, if I watch the
logs on the infoblox, one node will get the DHCP discover and recognize it
as "belonging" to the other node, but the other node will get the same
discover message and claim it is not responsible for request. So temporarily
i've disabled failover on the IP Phones until we can get it sorted out.

I don't plan on using TFTP for configs, especially since we are scheduled to
upgrade to ccm5.1 this month. If you use it for firmware updates you do not
need to have the agent running, its just an additional field you need to
populate with the TFTP server address on the device config page, which you
should be able to do with BAT.
