Chapter
Overview of Configuring and Installing Cisco Unified IP Phones
4. If you are configuring the network settings on the
phone, you can set up an IP address for the phone by
either using DHCP or manually entering an IP
address.
Using DHCP—To enable DHCP and allow the DHCP
server to automatically assign an IP address to the
Cisco Unified IP Phone and direct the phone to a
TFTP server, choose Applications > Administrator
Settings > Network Setup > IPv4 Setup and:
• To enable DHCP, set DHCP Enabled to Yes .
DHCP is enabled by default.
• To use an alternate TFTP server, set Alternate
TFTP Server to Yes, and enter the IP address for
the TFTP Server.
Note Consult with the network administrator to
determine whether you need to assign an
alternative TFTP server instead of using the
TFTP server assigned by DHCP.
Without DHCP—You must configure the IP address,
subnet mask, TFTP server, and default router locally
on the phone, choose Applications > Administrator
Settings > Network Setup > IPv4 Setup:
To disable DHCP and manually set an IP address:
a. To disable DHCP, set DHCP Enabled to No.
b. Enter the static IP address for phone.
c. Enter the subnet mask.
d. Enter the default router IP addresses.
e. Set Alternate TFTP Server to Yes, and enter the IP
address for TFTP Server 1.
You must also enter the domain name where the phone
resides by choosing Applications > Administrator
