Hello!
I have recently purchased a cisco 7841 model and i have this message on the screen "Enter Activation code or service domain".
Could you please help out with this issue?
From what i have gathered reading tutorials about this issue, i am supposed to register my cisco 7841 via the DHCP method, so I went ahead and installed windows server 2012 on Virtual Machine in my laptop.
I installed DHCP server and from my understanding the next step would be to create 2 scopes of addresses:
Scope 1: Signal or Data
Scope 2: Media Or Voice
Question 1: What is the subnet mask i should use for the 2 scopes of addresses ? should i just leave the default option ?
The next step is about excluding addresses form the scopes i just entered.
Question 2: Is it really necessary in my specific case?
My network is comprised of 1 Cisco Ip phone, 1 Huawei router , my laptop in which i have installed Windows Server 2012 in VM and my Desktop computer.
Next step is the lease in my case i just put 24h
Next, i have clicked Yes, I want to configure these options now to extend the wizard to include settings for the most common DHCP options. Click Next.
Question 3: What is the IP address for the default gateway that should be used by my IP phone to obtain an IP address from the DHCP server?
Next step is where i should specify the DNS server.
Question 4: Do I really need it in my case? if so what is the name or the IP address i should use here?
I believe that is it for the first part.
Next part is about adding the TFTP Option to the Scopes. The following tutorial is clear about that so i think i will be ok with that part
