The DHCP server must provide option 66 with the IP address of the IP Office that will be
used as a provisioning server. This functionality can be achieved by providing different
DHCP options based on Vendor Class ID. The IP Deskphones with UNIStim firmware report
Vendor Class ID “Nortel-i2004-A” or “Nortel-i2004-B”. The IP Deskphones with SIP software
report Vendor Class ID “Nortel-SIP-Phone-A”.
The following is an example of an appropriate configuration file for a Linux dhcpd DHCPv4
server. Please refer to the documentation of your DHCP server on how to configure the
appropriate configuration file.
dhcpd.conf:
.....
class "unistimA" {
match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 14) = “Nortel-i2004-A”;
option tftp-server-name “http://<IP Office IP address>/”;
}
class "unistimB" {
match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 14) = “Nortel-i2004-B”;
option tftp-server-name “http://<IP Office IP address>/ ″;
}
class "sigma" {
match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 18) = “Nortel-SIP-
Phone-A”;
option tftp-server-name “http://<IP Office IP address>/ ″;
.....
pool {
range 192.168.xxx.xxx 192.168.xxx.xxx;
allow members of "unistimA";
allow members of "unistimB";
allow members of "sigma";.
}
.....
Note:
If there is more than one DHCP server/utility server, the described process must be
performed on each DHCP/Utility server, according to the migration plan.
Note:
The IP address of the Provisioning Server can also be pushed to the IP Deskphones
with UNIStim firmware using the Nortel i2004-B option and the “prov=” argument of the
provisioning info block. Remove the “prov=” argument from the info block on your DHCP
server.
