Initial Configuration

The Windows NT 4.0 DHCP server configuration involves setting up a scope for the IP telephone. A DHCP scope is essentially a grouping of IP devices (in this case IP telephones) running the DHCP client service in a subnet. The scope is used to define parameters for each subnet. Each scope has the following properties:

A unique subnet mask used to determine the subnet related to a given IP address.

A scope name assigned by the administrator when the scope is created.

Lease duration values to be assigned to DHCP clients with dynamic addresses.
