Miscellaneous Administrative Tasks

IANA Private Enterprise number to determine which vendor's format should be used to decode the remaining data. The private enterprise number assigned to Polycom is 13885 (0x0000363D).

This vendor ID information is not a character string, but an array of binary data. The steps for parsing are as follows:

1.Check for the Polycom signature at the start of the option:

4octet: 00 00 36 3d

2.Get the length of the entire list of sub-options:

1octet

3.Read the field code and length of the first sub-option, 1+1 octets

4.If this is a field you want to parse, save the data.

5.Skip to the start of the next sub-option.

6.Repeat steps 3 to 5 until you have all the data or you encounter the End-of-Suboptions code (0xFF).

For example, the following is a sample decode of a packet from an IP601:

3c 74

-Option 60, length of Option data (part of the DHCP spec.) 00 00 36 3d

-Polycom signature (always 4 octects)

6f

-Length of Polycom data

0107 50 6f 6c 79 63 6f 6d

-sub-option 1 (company), length, "Polycom"

02 15 53 6f 75 6e 64 50 6f 69 6e 74 49 50 2d 53 50 49 50 5f 36 30 31

-sub-option 2 (part), length, "SoundPointIP-SPIP_601" 03 10 32 33 34 35 2d 31 31 36 30 35 2d 30 30 31 2c 32

-sub-option 3 (part number), length, "2345-11605-001,2"

04 1c 53 49 50 2f 54 69 70 2e 58 58 58 58 2f 30 38 2d 4a 75 6e 2d 30 37

20 31 30 3a 34 34

-sub-option 4 (Application version), length, "SIP/Tip.XXXX/08-Jun-07 10:44"

05 1d 42 52 2f 33 2e 31 2e 30 2e 58 58 58 58 2f 32 38 2d 41 70 72 2d 30

35 20 31 33 3a 33 30

-sub-option 5 (BootROM version), length, "BR/3.1.0.XXXX/28-Apr-05 13:30"

ff

-end of sub-options

For the BootROM, sub-option 4 and sub-option 5 will contain the same string. The string is formatted as follows:

<apptype>/<buildid>/<date+time>

where:

<apptype> can be 'BR' (BootROM) or 'SIP' (SIP Application)
