DHCP Trace
In order for the phone to perform a DHCP request, use the DHCP TRACE? submenu. You
can then review the parameters that the DHCP returns. After you have reviewed the trace
information, the DHCP Lease is released. If a previous DHCP offer included VLAN
information, you will have the option to perform a DHCP trace using the VLAN information;
however, this option will only be available if VLAN information is available when you initiate
the test.
