Network Settings
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 con-
sisting of the identifier value, firmware version, and bootrom version.
Configuring DHCP Option 60 Settings Using the Configuration Files
Use the following procedure to configure DHCP Option 60 settings using the configuration files.
Configuration Files
For specific parameters you can set in the configuration files, see Appendix A, the section,
Option 43
The Mitel phones also support Option 43 as referenced in RFC 2132. Option 43 consists of the following sub-options:
Sub-Option/Code
02
03
08
09
The System administrator can use the Vendor Class Identifier to send the phone a customized Server Configuration in
option 43 (Vendor-Specific information).
Note:
If Mitel IP Phones receive the server configuration from both DHCP Option 66 and DHCP Option 43, then Option 43
takes precedence over Option 66.
Using Option 43 to Customize the IP Phone
A System Administrator can customize the IP Phone(s) in the network by entering a text string in the phone's configura-
tion files. The following is an Option 43 example using Linux.
On the startup of the phones, when the DHCP server receives the request with the information in this example, it allows
the 6867i phones to use FTP and the 6869i phones to use TFTP from the same server.
