Precedence of administration methods
Most of the parameters are configured through multiple methods. If you configure a parameter
through more than one method, the device applies the settings of the method that has a higher
precedence. The following list shows the precedence of the methods in the highest to lowest
order:
1. Administration menu on the phone. When the parameter USE_DHCP is set to 1, the phone
gets the DHCP values from the DHCP rather than Administration menu of the phone.
2. Avaya Aura
®
System Manager and IP Office.
3. 46xxsettings.txt file
4. DHCP.
5. LLDP. There is an exception of LLDP getting a higher precedence than the Settings file
and DHCP when the layer 2 parameters, such as L2QVLAN, L2Q, L2QAUD, L2QVID,
L2QSIG, DSCPAUD, DSCPSIG, and PHY2VLAN are set through LLDP.
Note:
When parameters of the 46xxsettings.txt file are removed, or are not used, they reset to
their default value.
