DHCP Options (there's so many different ways)...

[Guest]

Good evening all..  I've got a need to support IP Telephones on the DHCP server within Endian.  These IP phones have specific auto-config options that can be pulled from DHCP (options 176 and 242 specifically), but I've found documents from several sources, all telling me a different way to insert these DHCP scope options into the config.  Here's what I've tried....
==============
option option-176 "MCIPADD=192.168.200.101,MCPORT=1719,L2QAUD=6,L2QSIG=5,L2QVLAN=0,TFTPSRVR=192.168.200.101,HTTPSRVR=192.168.200.101,VLANTEST=60"

option option-242 "MCIPADD=192.168.200.101,MCPORT=1719,L2QAUD=6,L2QSIG=5,L2QVLAN=0,TFTPSRVR=192.168.200.101,HTTPSRVR=192.168.200.101,VLANTEST=60"
==============
When that wouldn't let the DHCP server start, I then changed it to:
==============
option AvayaIP176 code 176 = text;
option AvayaIP176 "MCIPADD=192.168.200.101,MCPORT=1719,L2QAUD=6,L2QSIG=5,L2QVLAN=0,TFTPSRVR=192.168.200.101,HTTPSRVR=192.168.200.101,VLANTEST=60";

option AvayaIP242 code 242 = text;
option AvayaIP242 "MCIPADD=192.168.200.101,MCPORT=1719,L2QAUD=6,L2QSIG=5,L2QVLAN=0,TFTPSRVR=192.168.200.101,HTTPSRVR=192.168.200.101,VLANTEST=60";
==============

And, finally this before giving up:
==============
option option-176 "MCIPADD=192.168.200.101,MCPORT=1719,L2QAUD=6,L2QSIG=5,L2QVLAN=0,TFTPSRVR=192.168.200.101,HTTPSRVR=192.168.200.101,VLANTEST=60";

option option-242 "MCIPADD=192.168.200.101,MCPORT=1719,L2QAUD=6,L2QSIG=5,L2QVLAN=0,TFTPSRVR=192.168.200.101,HTTPSRVR=192.168.200.101,VLANTEST=60";
=============

Can anyone tell me how to insert a specific text string for a specific DHCP Scope options within Endian?

Thx.

This is what I did and it's worked fine

option avaya code 176 = text;
option avaya "L2Q=1,L2QVLAN=10";
option avaya1 code 242 = text;
option avaya1 "L2Q=1,L2QVLAN=10";

By the way you can change the name of avaya, avaya1 with any thing else
