DHCP
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a network protocol used to dynamically
allocate network parameters to network hosts. The automatic allocation of network parameters
to hosts eases the administrative burden of maintaining an IP network. IP phones comply with
the DHCP specifications documented in RFC 2131. If using DHCP, IP phones connected to the
network become operational without having to be manually assigned IP addresses and
additional network parameters.
Procedure
DHCP can be configured using the following methods.
Central Provisioning

the change take effect.
