[cisco-voip] slow 7936 boot times

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

We have had issues raised with 7936 conference phones taking between 10 and 15 minutes to boot up. I'm testing one right now that is taking 5 1/2 minutes. This was never the case. The only difference we can remember making is switching from Windows DHCP to central DHCP (Infoblox solution). I'll be doing some sniffing soon, but essentially what we see is the following: 

    • power up 
    • Cisco logo on screen for a bit 
    • "Configuring IP ... Press Menu to reconfigure" (5 1/2 min) 
    • "Station IP: <ipaddr> Contacting: <tftpipaddr> " (quick) 
    • "Registering: <subipaddr>" (quick) 

I am able to ping the phone from the sub very quickly after power up (even after a config erase). 

Any ideas?
