My Polycom IP550 phone is not requesting the DHCP address that my windows 2012 server offered it. I have done a wireshark capture on a mirrored port on our switch and you can see that the phone is doing the discover phase of the DHCP cycle and the server sends the offer that shows up on the mirrored port, but the phone doesn't send the request back to the server for the address. In the capture below, the phone eventually sends the request, but sometimes it won't for days. All help with this weird problem will be greatly appreciated! Please note that this is happening to all my phones (about 30).

I finally found the answer! After a lot of digging into various wireshark captures I noticed that when the problem was happening that there was a lot of IPV6 broadcast and discovery traffic. After additional investigation I found that various computers on our network had Intel nic cards that had a wake on lan function. The computers would sleep and would then "wake" and flood the local switches with IPV6 discovery traffic. I updated the drivers from Intel's site and it solved the problem. While this problem wouldn't have affected our phones if they had been on a separate VLAN, it still would be have been a problem for the PCs in the data VLAN.

I hope this helps someone since it was a hard problem to find!
