Skype for Business (Lync) device DHCP for Cisco IOS
Introduction
While designing a Skype for Business deployment for a customer, a requirement was discovered that meant we would need to provide a DHCP configuration to their WAN vendor. Each of the sites would be using Polycom VVX devices with IP addresses obtained from a Cisco router.
Neill Pert describes the process of taking output from DHCPUtil and massaging to a usable format but wouldn’t it be nice if we didn’t have to mess around with concatenating strings and counting lengths?
Introducing my first non-commercial contribution to the internets: Get-CsCiscoIosDhcp.ps1
Creating the Configuration
Fire up PowerShell and run the script:
1
.\Get-CsCiscoIosDhcp.ps1
The script will then ask for DHCP options needed for a successful Lync Phone Edition/Qualified deployment with PIN authentication:
