Nortel Networks TP-1610 SIP Vendor Specific Information Field, Description Value, Length

Mediant 2000 SIP

•From version 4.4 to version 4.4 or to any higher version, the device retains its configuration (ini file), however, the auxiliary files (CPT, logo, etc.) may be erased.

When using the Software Upgrade wizard, available through the Web Interface (refer to Section

5.11.1on page 78), the auxiliary files are saved as well.

Note: To save the cmp file to non-volatile memory, use the -fb command line switches. If the file is not saved, the gateway reverts to the old version of software after the next reset. For

information on using command line switches, refer to Section B.11.6 on page 198.

10.3.2 Vendor Specific Information Field

The Mediant 2000 uses the vendor specific information field in the BootP request to provide device-related initial startup information. The BootP/TFTP configuration utility displays this information in the ‘Client Info’ column (refer to Figure B-1).

Note: This option is not available on DHCP servers.

The Vendor Specific Information field is disabled by default. To enable / disable this feature: set the ini file parameter ‘ExtBootPReqEnable’ (Table 6-1on page 90) or use the ‘-be’ command line switch (refer to Table B-1on page 198).

Table 10-1details the vendor specific information field according to device types:
