- Using DHCP Option 242 to Deploy the Phone
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- DHCP is an excellent option for phones deployed in a local office. Your Avaya phone can be removed from its box and simply plugged into the network. All the setting will be retrieved from the server.
- Avaya phones look for DHCP option 242 for auto-provisioning. 242 needs to be of type _string_.
- Here is a sample string: "HTTPSRVR=company.domain.com,HTTPDIR=/app/provision,FORCE_HTTP_AUTH_USERNAME=admin,FORCE_HTTP_AUTH_PASSWORD=password,DES_STAT=0"
- Below is an explanation of all of the Key-values:
- 1. HTTPSRVR - The fqdn of the provisioning server
- 2. HTTPDIR - The folder that the phone should look for the provisioning files
- 3. FORCE_HTTP_AUTH_USERNAME - HTTP username (optional)
- 4. FORCE_HTTP_AUTH_PASSWORD - HTTP password (optional)
- 5. DES_STAT - Set to 0 to disable Avaya's Device Enrollment Service
- When a phone boots up and retrieves option 242, it will first begin looking for the `J100Supgrade.txt` file inside of the HTTPDIR. This file contains a pointer to the MAC specific file that has the extension settings.
- Using DHCP Option 242 to Set the VLAN
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- One method of getting phones to switch to the voice vlan is through the use of DHCP.
- Avaya looks for option 242 (string) for the VLAN ID that it should be on. This is accomplished by adding the following to option 242: "L2Q=1,L2QVLAN=11,VLANTEST=0"
- Below is an explanation of all of the Key-values:
- 1. L2Q - This is a true (1) or false (0) as to if vlan tagging should be used.
- 2. L2QVLAN - This is the vlan id
- 3. VLANTEST - Specifies the number of seconds that the phone waits prior to failing back to a different VLAN ID if no response is received from the DHCP server
- When a phone boots, if you have option 242 set to "xxx" where xxx is your vlan id, the phone will release it's address lease and request a new one with it's frames tagged with the vlan ID.
- This option is needed on the default vlan DHCP scope to make the phone switch.
