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
(Configuration File)
Configure DHCP on the IP phone.
Parameter:
static.network.internet_port.type

Details of Configuration Parameter:
static.network.internet_port.type
Description:

2-Static IP Address
Note: It works only if the value of the parameter “static.network.ip_address_mode” is set to 0
(IPv4) or 2 (IPv4 & IPv6). If you change this parameter, the IP phone will reboot to make the
change take effect.
