Quick Start
If the phone is to be located in a VLAN (Virtual LAN), a VLAN ID must be assigned. If the VLAN
shall be provided by DHCP,
VLAN Discovery
must be set to "DHCP" (see Section 3.3.2.1, “Au-
tomatic VLAN discovery using LLDP-MED”). The corresponding DHCP option is vendor-spe-
cific, thus a specific procedure is necessary.
If a DLS (Deployment Service) server is in use, its IP address must be provided. It is recom-
mended to configure the DLS server address by DCHP, as this method enables full Plug & Play:
having received the DLS address from DHCP, the phone will contact the DLS during start-up.
Provided that the DLS is configured appropriately, it will send all necessary configuration data
to the phone. Additionally, this method is relevant to security, as it ensures the authenticity of
the DLS server.
For manual configuration of the DLS server address see Configuration & Update Service.
For the configuration of vendor-specific settings by DHCP, there are two alternative methods:
•
the use of a vendor class - see How to Use a Vendor Class,
or
•
the use of DHCP option 43 - see How to Use Option #43 "Vendor Specific".
2.3.8.1
How to Use a Vendor Class
It is recommended to define a vendor class on the DHCP server, thus enabling server and
phone to exchange vendor-specific data exclusively. The data is disclosed from other clients.
The following steps are required for the configuration of the Windows DHCP server and for
Unix/Linux.
Example: Configuration of the Window DHCP Server
Setting up a new vendor class using the Windows DHCP Server
