GXP2000 losing time
carel
Hi,We have about 6 GXP2000 IP phones with strange behaviour with the time settings. These phones would boot up, get time / date from the NTP server and display the correct time (BST Timezone). However, after a while (usually by the next day), the time will go back by 5 hours for no apparent reason. The phones are on the latest firmware (first thing I did), but the problem has gone worse (before *some* of the phones would do it for a while, then stopped, now *all* of them have the same problem).Any ideas what would cause the time to change? It is always 5 hours and seems that the timezone changes for some strange reason. I've also been pushing debug messages to a syslog server, but it is difficult to see what time it changes as we don't any details on the local time during syslog writes.Any help appreciated.Carel
I finally found the cause of the problem:# Allow DHCP Option 2 to override Time Zone setting. 0 - No, 1 - Yes.# When set to Yes(1), it will override the configured Time Zone setting if available.P143 = 0Set the above to 1 and at random times the timezone will change by 5 hours. Set it to 0 and the problem goes away. Thing is - there's no option 2 set on the DHCP server and you would expect this to *always* be wrong if it was overwriting something. Looks very much like a bug to me.Carel
