You can configure your network to provision Polycom telephony devices directly out of the box to work with NocTel. This is typically done from a dedicated provisioning VLAN and not the typical voice VLAN network.
In order to do this, add a DHCP Option 160 to your DHCP Server with the content "https://tap.noctel.com"
Upon initial boot up of the device, it will configure the phone's bootloader with the following settings:
- Enable DHCP
- Disable CDP
- Enable LLDP
- Set the provisioning server type to HTTPS
- Set the provisioning server to noctel.com
The Polycom device will then reboot and provision as if it was configured manually.

10.0.0.2;
}
router {

}}
}
Juniper using JDHCP:
system {
services {
dhcp-local-server {
group JDHCP {
interface vlan.1;
}
}
}
}
access {
address-assignment {
pool JDHCPVR-POOL {
family inet {
network 10.0.0.0/24;
range JDHCPVR-RANGE {
low 10.0.0.100;
high 10.0.0.254;
}
dhcp-attributes { router {10.0.0.1;
