ProCurve 5412zl and ShoreTel

So we've got the ProCurve set up for the ShoreTel system and phones now.  Here is the code snippet from the ProCurve:

interface A1
   name "Phone and PC Office 100"
   power-over-ethernet high
exit
interface A2
   name "Phone and PC Office 101"
   power-over-ethernet high
exit
interface D7 
   name "ShoreTel Voicemail Server"
   no power-over-ethernet
exit
interface D14
   name "ShoreTel 50"
   no power-over-ethernet
exit
interface D15
  name "ShoreTel T1"
   no power-over-ethernet
exit

vlan 14
   name "USER_VLAN14"
   untagged A1-A2
   ip address 10.3.14.1 255.255.255.0
   exit
vlan 19
   name "VOIP_Phone_VLAN"
   untagged D7, D14-D15 
   qos priority 7
   ip address 10.3.19.1 255.255.255.0
   tagged A1-A2 
   exit


qos udp-port 4102 priority 6
qos udp-port 1718 priority 6
qos udp-port 1719 priority 6
qos udp-port 1720 priority 6
qos udp-port 25 priority 6
qos udp-port 37 priority 6
qos udp-port 69 priority 6
qos udp-port 162 priority 6
qos udp-port 520 priority 6
qos udp-port 8089 priority 6
qos udp-port 8888 priority 6

You also need to configure your DHCP server so that when the phone boots up, it can determine the VOIP VLAN that you want to use.  To do this you need to set up the following DHCP options on your DHCP server in the untagged VLAN that the phones will first see when booting (VLAN 14 above):

042 = NTP Servers = NTP.Server.IP.Address1,  NTP.Server.IP.Address2
066 = Boot Server Host Name = ShoreTel Server IP address
067 = Bootfile Name = ShoreTel Server IP address

So far this ShoreTel stuff is pretty kick ass. I'm not regretting my decision at all.

I implemented a ShoreTel about 3-4 years ago with my phone guy and was so impressed with the phones and system we considered becoming a reseller.
