Enabling/Disabling DHCP Option 132 VLAN ID Using the Configuration Files

configuration files.
CONFIGURATION FILES
For specific parameters you can set in the configuration files, see Appendix A, the section,
"DHCP Option Settings"
USING OPTION 12 HOSTNAME ON THE IP PHONE
If you set the phone to use DHCP Option 12, the phone automatically sends this option to the
configuration server. This option specifies the hostname (name of the client). The name may
or may not be qualified with the local domain name (based on RFC 2132). See RFC 1035 for
character set restrictions.
Notes:
1. The hostname of [<model><MAC address>] automatically populates the field on
initial startup of the phone. For example, for a 6867i, the "Hostname" field is
automatically populated as "67i00085D164435", where the model number is "6867i"
and the MAC address is "00085D164435".
2. If the configuration server sends the hostname back to the phone in a DHCP Reply
Packet, the hostname is ignored.
An Administrator can change the "Hostname" for the DHCP Option 12 via the configuration
files, the IP Phone UI, and the Mitel Web UI.
