DHCP Option 66 data gets mangled on the way to client ?
I have a 3750G issuing DHCP to a bunch of voip phones and mostly seems to work.
I have option 66 configured
but when I look at the phones GUI I see this odd value
I have option 66 configured
ip dhcp pool Phones
network 192.168.200.0 255.255.255.0
default-router 192.168.200.254
option 66 ip 192.168.200.200
but when I look at the phones GUI I see this odd value
DHCP Option Server Path @(HH
I'm not even sure what question to ask other than is there a different way I'm supposed to set option 66?
Shouldn't you provide an URL for option 66 (autoprovision path)?

There is no DNS server available in this (linux) system. so if 66 requires a URL (or the phone does which I am investigating) then I can't use it after all.
The URL may contain an IP address, it doesn't necessarily need to use DNS. Something like \\10.10.10.10\autoprovisio n.html

ASCII . . . bullseye! that made it work. Thank you
You're welcome.
ASCII and the URL, or ASCII and IP address?

Hi Qlemo
ascii and the ip address. No path after the IP was required - I'm sure that varies by client but in this case that's all that was needed.
Nobody was happier than I when they all snapped to life after that worked.
