4612 & DHCP Problems

[ThomasITMI]

We are running a R9.5 w/ (25) 4612 gen 2 Ip phones. We can only setthem up if we assign a static IP address. We need to be able to set them up with DHCP dynamically assigning the IP addresses as we don't have enough static IP left.

Any help would be appreciated.

First, do you have a DHCP server. The Avaya IP setup likes the Cisco DHCP. Once you have the server, then you need to change the settings in the telephones to the correct ip settings, including router, subnet mask etc. The Definity switch also needs the pc's ip address of the DHCP server.

We do have a DHCP server on our HP server farm and have setup the TFTP server and files etc. and the phones all come up but each phone requires its on static ip address???

Should be something simple that we are missing....
