Hi all,
I'm looking for newer documentation that details the process of mass deploying 69XX sets on MiVB. And, I'm also looking for a way to auto-provision them without tech or users needing to login with the PIN on the phone during deployment.
In KMS, I found an article on Mitel DHCP option 125 but the guide is for Windows 2012 DHCP Server. Is there anything more recent? Can we use DHCP option 66 to point them to the MiVB as the TFTP server? And will they take that as the Call Server address? (I know Mitel states an external FTP is required for more than 200 69XX phone sets).
For auto-provisioning, I'm thinking that we put the MAC addresses in the exported Users CSV then import that to ESM? Is there a better way?

We always just use DHCP option 43...
Do you have a dedicated voice VLAN? The phones support LLDP-MED auto voice VLAN and you can just run the DHCP server in the Mitel... That is the easiest and recommended way these days.

I think the 2012 setup is still valid, it is a bit hard to actually do IMHO

I appreciate the responses :)

Option 43 would be easiest for me to try as we already do that for MX-ONE/M400 in our lab. I can also use VLANs for testing... I understand that LLDP-MED is on the network switch side, right? I'll take a look at that.

That's what I thought when I saw it too. I did manage to find the DHCP Helper in github so I'll give it a shot soon.
