Mitel 6800 Series SIP Phone Release 4.2.0 Administrator Guide
For DHCP to automatically populate the IP address or domain name for the servers, your DHCP
server must support Option 66. Option 66 is responsible for forwarding the server's IP address
or domain name to the phone automatically. If your DHCP server does not support Option 66,
you must manually enter the IP address or domain name for your applicable configuration
server into your IP phone configuration.
Options 60
The Mitel phones support Option 60 as referenced in RFC 2132.
Option 60 (Vendor Class Identifier) provides the DHCP server with a unique identifier for each
phone model. This enables a system administrator to send the phone a customized Server
Configuration in option 43.
The table below lists the identifier values for each phone model.

A configuration parameter ("dhcp opt60 extended vendor class") is available allowing the
phones to provide the DHCP server with enhanced DHCP Option 60 (Vendor Class Identifier)
information that includes firmware and bootrom information in addition to the identifier value.
If the parameter is configured as "0" (disabled - default), the phone will send simply a DHCP
Option 60 value consisting of the identifier value. If the parameter is configured as "1" (enabled),
the phone will send a DHCP Option 60 value consisting of the identifier value, firmware version,
and bootrom version.
