Alcatel IP Phones ...

[Glenn Satchell]

Seems like something in your match if isn't matching. You can verify
the vendor-class-id being sent using this example from the dhcp-options
man page:

       set vendor-string = option vendor-class-identifier;

       This will result in all entries in the DHCP  server  lease
       database   file   for   clients  that  sent  vendor-class-
       identifier options having a set statement that looks some-
       thing like this:

       set vendor-string = "SUNW.Ultra-5_10";

Previously with alcatel A4400 phones I've used a match statement like
this, without the substring part:

class "alcatel_ipphone" {
  match if option vendor-class-identifier = "alcatel.tsc-ip.0";
  ...
}
