DHCP vs. Static

[Sinkiller]

We are converting 16000 endpoints from CLAN to PE. We have found that some phones in the environment were statically assigned there network credentials. Is there anyway to find out if the phones were statically assigned vs. the ones that got there info via dhcp.

You could possibly use SNMP to check those things, but I can't think of any other method.

I new this was going to be a shot in the dark. Thanks for the reply. I'll pick our our network team and see if they have any ideas.
