New Features in Release 2.3
12 RN-001029-02, Release 2.3, Rev 00
IP Phone Release Notes 2.3
DHCP Options 159 and 160 for the Configuration Server
In addition to DHCP options 43 and 66 already supports on the IP Phones for setting the
configuration server, Release 2.3 provides new DHCP Options 159 and 160. The IP Phones now
use the following order of precedence when deriving the configuration server parameters: 43,
160, 159, 66.
In addition, an administrator can override this order of precedence by setting a configuration
parameter called, dhcp config option override. You can set this parameter via the configuration
files, IP Phone UI, or the Aastra Web UI. Setting this parameter results in the phone only using
the chosen DHCP option and ignoring the other options
.
Configuring DHCP Option Override via the Configuration Files
Use the following parameter to configure DHCP option override on the IP Phones.
Warning: Administrators should review the updated IP phone DHCP
option precedence order and configuration options to avoid potential
impact to existing Aastra IP phone deployments.
