I have a SX200 AX controller with 8 IP sets on the switch (Hotel). I started receiving complaints about the voice mail seizing up, not answering. Maintenance logs show iPVM errors at exactly 2:08 in the morning, and wont allow the voice mail to work until I do a re-boot. Went on site to be sure no other devices were plugged into the layer 2 switch. Only the phones were. Form 47 DHCP lease showed and unusual line @ 192.168.1.14 "IP in use", not MAC address, but "SRVR RSRV" with an actual date and time 3 days in the future. I decided to delete all information in that sub-form and changed DHCP Enable to Disable. All phones re-booted without an issue. Any reason to keep DHCP Enabled in this type of environment? I know if the add phones we can have them set statically. I have never run into this problem before. I think I need a lesson from someone in the way servers work, and why do we need DHCP enabled?
Thanks!
Thanks!
