Determine DHCP server configuration and IP address

The BCM50 has a DHCP server. This DHCP server supplies Nortel Networks IP Phones with IP
Addresses and BCM50 connection information.
If the BCM50 does not have an integrated router, then the DHCP server can be configured using
Element Manager.
If there is an integrated router, then the DHCP server on the BCM50 is disabled and the DHCP
server is configured using the Router Configuration page.
The BCM50 can have the following DHCP configurations:
• "BCM50 Main Unit (no integrated router)" on page 145
• "BCM50a or BCM50e (with integrated router)" on page 146

BCM50 Main Unit (no integrated router)

By default, The BCM50 is configured with a dynamic IP address, which means it requests an IP
configuration from a DHCP server.
The BCM50 Main Unit can have two DHCP server configurations:
• "If an external DHCP server is not present" on page 145
• "If an external DHCP server is present" on page 146

If an external DHCP server is not present

If there is no external DHCP server, then the BCM50 uses the following default IP configuration:
IP address:
Subnet mask:
Gateway:
The DHCP server on the BCM50 supplies IP configuration information for all IP devices (PC's
and IP Phones). It also supplies specific connection information to the Nortel Networks IP Phones.
