DHCP OPTION 60 VENDOR CLASS IDENTIFIER ENHANCEMENT
The “dhcp opt60 extended vendor class” configuration parameter has been implemented in
Release 4.0.0 SP1 allowing the phones to provide the DHCP server with enhanced DHCP
Option 60 (Vendor Class Identifier) information that includes firmware and bootrom information
in addition to the identifier value.
If the parameter is configured as “0” (disabled - default), the phone will send simply a DHCP
Option 60 value consisting of the identifier value. If the parameter is configured as “1” (enabled),
the phone will send a DHCP Option 60 value consisting of the identifier value, firmware version,
and bootrom version.
The following table lists the identifier values for each phone model:
For example, if using the 6869i IP phone with a firmware version of 4.0.0.1050 and a bootrom
version of 1.0.0.7, when the parameter is disabled, the phone will send a DHCP Option 60
value of simply “AastraIPPhone6869i”. When the parameter is enabled, the phone will send a
DHCP Option 60 value of “AastraIPPhone6869i + Firmware 4.0.0.1050 + BootRom 1.0.0.7”.
