BCM 50 DHCP...how to disable

Yes, but do you have IP phones or digital phones? If IP phones you might want to make sure DHCP on the BCM is not being used for the phones. Typically it will be set to "Enabled-IP phones only"
You can disable it by logging in and open Data Services, click DHCP service and then choose disable from the drop down.

One of the settings is on for IP phones only. I've found that using that brings up the phones much quicker and is full DHCP. If the network has a DHCP server, you might want to turn DHCP off in the BCM completely unless the phones and BCM are on different VLANs, and use partial DHCP on the phones. If it's a BCM50e or BCM50a, it has a built in router in the bcm as well. I believe DHCP will be on by default in the router and off in the bcm e or a. Yes, they're in the same phtsical box but are managed separately.
