Setting up a DHCPv6 server
About this task
Important:
Avaya does not support IPv6 for the general market, and makes the software available to a
specific set of customers with known limitations. Any additional limitation or bugs discovered
within this release will be considered for resolution in future major releases.
To set up the DHCPv6 server:
Procedure
1. Install the DHCP server software according to vendor instructions.
2. Configure the DHCP server to send a Vendor-Specific Information (VSI) option with an
enterprise number of 6889 which is the Avaya Enterprise Number.
3. Include the vendor-specific option with an opt-code of 242 within that option.
4. Set the option-data portion of the vendor-specific option with the applicable parameters.
For information about the parameters, see the site-specific DHCP options.
Additionally, the parameters DOMAIN and DNSSRVR can be set in other numbered
options by DHCP. These parameters can also be set in the Avaya DHCPv6 vendor-specific
option.
Result
The vendor-specific option is processed after the DHCP fields and standard options. As such, any
values set using the VSI will supersede any values that are set using DHCP fields or standard
options, as well as any other previously set values.

HTTP generic setup
About this task
You can store the same application software, script file, and settings file on an HTTP server. The
phone uses the application software, script file, and settings file. The phone might lose some
functionality, if you reset the HTTP server or the HTTP server is unavailable. MVIPTEL and IIS6
are not supported with HTTPS. When using HTTPS, before upgrading, you must replace the
server.
Caution:
Ensure that the files defined by the HTTP server configuration are accessible from all IP
Deskphones that need those files. Ensure that the file names match the names in the upgrade
script, including case, as UNIX systems are case-sensitive.
