2c. Activate the Scope
The scope can be manually activated by right clicking on the scope, select All Tasks and select
Activate. The activation is immediate.

running of the PC specified as the TFTP server.

Alternate Options

In this document we issued all the Avaya IP phone information through the Scope and the Option 176
settings. Depending on the DHCP server, other options may have to be used within the scope.
• Option 6: DNS Server Address
On the Windows 2000 DHCP server this is set through the scope. Other DHCP servers may
allow or require it to be set through Option 6 with multiple addresses separated by a comma and
no spaces. At least one address must be a dot decimal IP address.
•
Option 15: DNS Domain Name
On the Windows 2000 DHCP server this is set through the scope. Other DHCP servers may
allow or require it to be set through Option 15. This option is necessary if the TFTP server is
indicated by name rather than address (not supported on Windows DHCP).
• Option 66: TFTP Server Name
Allows the specifying of the TFTP server address. Multiple addresses can be entered with each
address separated by a comma and no spaces. Microsoft DHCP servers only support dot
decimal IP addresses.
• Note that for the Avaya H.323 IP phones, any Option 66 settings will be overridden by any
TFTP entry in Option 176. Using Option 66 as part of the Scope is useful if alternate
Gatekeeper addresses are required in the Option 176 settings whilst keeping within the
127 character limit.
