Chapter 1 An Overview of the Cisco Unified IP Phone
Overview of Configuring and Installing Cisco Unified IP Phones
4. If you are configuring the network settings on the phone for an IPv4 network,
you can set up an IP address for the phone by using of the following methods:
• Using DHCP—To enable DHCP and allow the DHCP server to
automatically assign an IP address to the Cisco Unified IP Phone and direct
the phone to a TFTP server, choose Settings > Network Configuration>
IPv4 Configuration and:
– To enable DHCP, set DHCP Enabled to Ye s. DHCP is enabled by
default.
– To use an alternate TFTP server, set Alternate TFTP Server to Ye s, and
enter the IP address for the TFTP Server.
Note Consult with the network administrator if you need to assign an
alternative TFTP server instead of using the TFTP server assigned by
DHCP.
• Without DHCP—You must configure the IP address, subnet mask, TFTP
server, and default router locally on the phone, choose Settings > Network
Configuration> IPv4 Configuration:
To disable DHCP and manually set an IP address:
a. To disable DHCP, set DHCP Enabled to No.
b. Enter the static IP address for phone.
c. Enter the subnet mask.
d. Enter the default router IP addresses.
e. Set Alternate TFTP Server to Yes, and enter the IP address for TFTP
Server 1.
f. Choose Settings > Network Configuration and enter the domain
name where the phone resides.
Note The Cisco Unified IP Phone supports having both IPv4 and an IPv6
address concurrently. You can configure Cisco Unified
Communications Manager to support IPv4 addresses only, IPv6
addresses only, or support both IPv4/IPv6 addresses.
