option of DHCP
hello everybody,
before installed FortiGate 110c where was a pfsense firewall that managed dhcp in " particolary mode" , in fact 1 port of firewall was a gateway for ip-phone switchboard and propagateted not only ip address (and gateway and dns..) but some other information in particolary, tftp server (the ip of switchboard) and id-vlan .
Now with FortiGate I can' t recreate the same configuration. Is there possibility to increase the DHCP options? (i find something about helper address); or in other case, no one configure FortiGate for manager ip phone.. what can you do?
Thanks
Mirko

Mirko,
Sorry I' m not exactly sure what you are asking here. The firewall DHCP server does have a couple of options for you to set.
See example below:
config system dhcp server
edit 1
set default-gateway x.x.x.x
set interface " port3"
config ip-range
edit 1
set end-ip x.x.x.x
set start-ip x.x.x.x
next
end
set lease-time 14400
set netmask 255.255.255.0
set option1 43 ' xxxxxxxxxx'
set option2 60 ' xxxxxxxxxx'
set dns-server1 x.x.x.x
next
end

option 42 is the NTP server to use.
option 66 or opt. 128 should be TFTP server.

Note that all option values = IP addresses are given in Hex! Whereas the option # is in decimal.

You are fantastic, thank you very very much!!
I found the configuration of pfsense:
<dhcpd>
<lan>
<range>
<from>10.98.10.10</from>
<to>10.98.10.100</to>
</range>
<defaultleasetime/>
<maxleasetime/>
<netmask/>
<failover_peerip/>
<gateway/>
<ddnsdomain/>
<next-server/>
<filename/>
</lan>
<opt2>
<range>
<from>172.16.0.50</from>
<to>172.16.0.150</to>
</range>
<defaultleasetime/>
<maxleasetime/>
<netmask/>
<failover_peerip/>
<gateway>172.16.0.1</gateway>
<ddnsdomain/>
<next-server>172.16.0.10</next-server>
<filename>xa000001</filename>
<options>
<tftp-server-name>172.16.0.10</tftp-server-name>
</options>
<enable/>
<netboot/>
</opt2>
</dhcpd>
Now I try, but my client is in holiday for some day so I don' t know when I have reply.
In any case what do you think if I use:
' option1 52 2' (because says " This option (66) is used to identify a TFTP server when the ' sname' field in the DHCP header has been used for DHCP options.)
' option2 66 AC10000A' (172.16.0.10 = AC10000A)
Thanks
Mirko

a) I don' t think you need to signal ' option overload' as option1, option2 are standard option fields. But you may try to leave it as it is.
b) in option2, you forgot the ' length' field -> option2 66 4 AC10000A
c) it might be that the AC10000A must be given in quotes -> " AC10000A"
Here' s a document describing option 66 for the setup of various phone models:

Did you sniff the packets? Is there really no tftp response?
The fortigate DCHP options work as a charm with both sip phones as sun thin clients.
Not a prop.
