DHCP and TFTP 4
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) provides a means by which configuration
parameters can be automatically assigned to clients on a TCP/IP network. This minimizes the
maintenance of a network of 4600 Series IP telephones by removing the need to assign and
maintain IP addresses and other parameters for each IP telephone on the network individually .
