RIS with NON-Windows DHCP

[abuthemagician]

Is it possible to use RIS with a NON-Windows DHCP server? I want to use my Adtran router as a DHCP server because it boots faster than my windows server, and my phones depend on DHCP for an IP after a power outage or reboot. Do i only need to forward requests to the RIS server?

Yes, you can use non-Windows DHCP servers. I do it using a LinkSys router as the DHCP server.

Certainly you can. Just make sure to define options "66 - Boot Server Host Name" and "67 - Boot File Name" in your DHCP server. Mine is configured as follows at remote sites:

66 - server.domain.tld

67 - \OSChooser\i386\startrom.com

Good luck.
