DHCP Options and IP Phones provisioning 2

[odhiambo0]

Hi

I have several IP phones: 4610s, 4625s, 1616s, 1603s and 3645s.

I have scoured the Internet looking for documentation on how to automatically provision these phones.
I have a feeling I can get them to automatically get the required parameters from a DHCP Server using dhcp options.
I use Cisco routers for DHCP Servers.

Where do I find the document that lists all the dhcp options related to Avaya IP Phones?
I'd rather have CALLSRV, CALLSRV_PORT, FILESRV, etc obtained automatically.

And lastly, out of curiosity, if anyone is using 3645s with IPO500v2, what is the latest version of firmware recommended?

The dhcp 176 & 242 scope option would need to look like below replaced with your IP addresses.

MCIPADD=192.168.42.1,MCPORT=1719,HTTPSRVR=192.168.42.2

@hairlessmoneky, I am sorry, but what I was looking is a definitive list of DHCP Options related to Avaya IP Office. It's not hard for me to make sense out of it once I get the list. I love RTFM

I have seen 176, 242, 66, but wanted to see if there is a document with the whole shebang list...
That way, I can make head or tails of it which options I require for my phones.

That's it 176 for old 46xx and 56xx handets and the new IP phones 16xx and 96xx use 242...what more do you need?

I need where it is ALL documented
I am guessing there is more than just 176, 242, 66... aren't there more?

 

[NewNic]

look for the 96xx lan administrator guide on Avayas web site, its geared for the CM product family but the scope options are the same

 

[intrigrant]

There are only two Avaya specific options 176 and 252 all the other ones are common DHCP options which are explained in the RFC DHCP documentsand not in Avaya documents.

What did you say?

 

[tlpeter]

Indeed 176 (46xx,56xx and 36xx) and 272 (96xx,16xx)
Option 66 is for tftp and only used by the 36xx phones of Avaya.


BAZINGA!

I'm not insane, my mother had me tested!

 

[odhiambo0]

I am not on a scrambler, gentlemen. I am listening

@intrigrant - 252 ???
@tlpeter - 272 ???

Susceptibility to typos or those are new options?

@NewNic - thanks.

Gentlemen, I am most grateful for all the advise. It is now clear to me that Avaya IP Phones need only 176 (old phones) and 242 (new phones) and all other options are common as specified in the DHCP RFC.

I am listening, after all

 

[bob10752000]
