[cisco-voip] *nix box for DHCP/TFTP

[keli at carocomp.ro]

We often have DHCP on *nix servers, and I had used *nix TFTP servers  
for troubleshooting Cisco phones, but not in a working Cisco  
environment.

However (albeit this is a bit offtopic) I have used *nix servers for  
complete proivisioning (DHCP/DNS/TFTP/NTP/firmware through HTTP/etc.)  
for SIP based networks (Linksys phones and others).

For a small (or lab) environments dnsmasq (  
http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/doc.html ) is a very handy  
all-in-one solution.

regards,
   Zoltan
