DNS Addressing

As of Release 1.5, the 4600 IP Telephones support DNS addresses and dotted decimal addresses. The telephone attempts to resolve a non-ASCII-encoded dotted decimal IP address by checking the contents of DHCP Option 6. See DHCP Generic Setup on page 62 for information. At least one address in Option 6 must be a valid, non-zero, dotted decimal address, otherwise, DNS fails. The system parameter DOMAIN’s (Option 15, Table 10) text string is appended to the address(es) in Option 6 before the telephone attempts to resolve the DNS address. If Option 6 contains a list of DNS addresses, those addresses are queried in the order given if no response is received from previous addresses on the list. As an alternative to administering DNS by DHCP, you can specify the DNS server and/or Domain name in the TFTP or HTTP script file. But first SET the DNSSRVR and DOMAIN values so you can use those names later in the script.

Note:

If you administer Options 6 and 15 appropriately with DNS servers and Domain names respectively, you do not need to specify MCIPADD and TFTPSRVR settings in the Site Specific Option string.

Customizing the Site-Specific Option Number (SSON)

DHCP Generic Setup on page 62, discusses that the SSON can be set to a string. For each system parameter listed in Table 10 that you want to include, append the SSON string with:

a comma followed by name=value

where name is a parameter name and value is its associated value. Invalid values cause the data to be ignored for that name. Customizing the SSON affects all telephones associated with that DHCP server.
