Enabling/Disabling DHCP Using the Mitel Web UI
Use the following procedure to enable/disable DHCP using the Mitel Web UI.
DHCP Options 60, 66, and 43 Server Configurations
Option 66
The IP Phones support download protocols as referenced in RFC2131 and RFC1541 (TFTP, FTP, HTTP,. HTTPS) to support
DHCP option 66. Option 66 is part of the DHCP Offer message that the DHCP server generates to tell the phone which con-
figuration server it should use to download new firmware and configuration files.
For DHCP to automatically populate the IP address or domain name for the servers, your DHCP server must support
Option 66. Option 66 is responsible for forwarding the server’s IP address or domain name to the phone automatically. If
your DHCP server does not support Option 66, you must manually enter the IP address or domain name for your applica-
ble configuration server into your IP phone configuration.
Options 60
The Mitel phones support Option 60 as referenced in RFC 2132.
Option 60 (Vendor Class Identifier) provides the DHCP server with a unique identifier for each phone model. This enables
a system administrator to send the phone a customized Server Configuration in option 43.
The table below lists the identifier values for each phone model.
A configuration parameter (“dhcp opt60 extended vendor class”) is available allowing the phones to provide the DHCP
server with enhanced DHCP Option 60 (Vendor Class Identifier) information that includes firmware and bootrom informa-
tion in addition to the identifier value.
