[cisco-voip] suggested/best practices for DHCP settings on routers

[Ryan Ratliff]

Look into the dhcp database configuration so you can keep your bindings on reload.

For our two remote campuses, I'm running DHCP for the phones on the local router rather than using our central DHCP server. This is causing us a few problems, namely when we reboot the router.

When we reboot the router, DHCP all bindings are lost, so when a phone is going through it's DHCP lifecycle, it's getting a different IP address and causing phones to reboot due to IP address conflicts.

I also just found out that I can't ping the phones from the router from the command line, so I'm guessing any ping before binding is failing, but I'm not sure the router does a ping before a bind.

'm leaning towards using the on-campus DHCP service, but am worried that in an extended down time the phones will crap out, especially during any sort of power cycle.

Anyone have any suggestions? I'm going to take a read through the online docs for v15 to see if there is anything available.
