Configuring the Cisco IP Phone to Obtain its
Configuration File from the TFTP Server
This section describes the following ways in which the Cisco IP Phone can
contact the TFTP server to obtain its profile:
• Using a DHCP Server, page 6-5
–
The phone contacts the DHCP server, which provides the IP address of
the TFTP server
–
The phone uses the DHCP server but the DHCP server does not know
about the TFTP server
• Without Using a DHCP Server, page 6-8
Using a DHCP Server
Configuration settings for a DHCP server vary depending on whether the DHCP
server is under the control of the Cisco IP Phone system administrator or the
service provider. The simplest configuration is when the DHCP server is under the
control of the Cisco IP Phone administrator, in which case the DHCP server
provides the IP address of the TFTP server. Depending on who controls the DHCP
server, follow the applicable configuration procedure:
• If the DHCP Server is Under Control of the Cisco IP Phone Administrator,
page 6-6
• If the DHCP Server is not Under the Control of the Cisco IP Phone
Administrator, page 6-7
