Chapter 1 An Overview of the Cisco Unified IP Phone
Overview of Configuring and Installing Cisco Unified IP Phones
5. If you are configuring the network settings on the phone for an IPv6 network,
you can set up an IP address for the phone by using of the following methods:
• Using DHCPv6—To enable DHCPv6 and allow the DHCPv6 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>
IPv6 Configuration and configure the following:
– To enable DHCPv6, set DHCPv6 to Ye s . DHCPv6 is enabled by
default.
– To use an alternate TFTP server, set IPv6 Alternate TFTP Server to
Ye s , and enter the IP address for IPv6 TFTP Server 1.
Note Consult with the network administrator if you need to assign an
alternate TFTP server instead of using the TFTP server assigned by
DHCP.
• Without DHCP—You must configure the IP address, subnet mask and
TFTP server locally on the phone, choose Settings > Network
Configuration> IPv6 Configuration:
To disable DHCP and manually set an IP address:
a. To disable DHCPv6, set DHCPv6 to No.
b. Enter the static IP address for phone.
c. Enter the IPv6 prefix length.
d. Set IPv6 Alternate TFTP Server to Yes, and enter IP address for IPv6
TFTP Server 1.
e. 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 devices only, IPv6 devices
only, or to support both IPv4 and IPv6 devices concurrently.
