Administration overview and requirements
18 Administering Avaya 9601/9608/9608G/9611G/9621G/9641G IP Deskphones SIP
Comments? infodev@avaya.com
1. Manual administration through the Craft Menu or the Avaya Menu, unless the system
parameter USE_DHCP is set to 1, in which case the IP address received through DHCP is
the higher priority.
2. Avaya Aura
®
System Manager.
3. The 46xxsettings.txt settings file.
4. DHCP, except as indicated in
DHCPACK setting of parameter values.
5. LLDP.
Note:
Note: The only exception to this sequence is in the case of VLAN IDs. In the case of
VLAN IDs, LLDP settings of VLAN IDs are of the highest priority, after which the
usual priority sequence applies. For the L2QVLAN and L2Q system values, LLDP
settings of VLAN IDs are the highest priority only if the LLDP task receives the
VLAN IDs before DHCP, and the DHCP client of the deskphone is activated. If
the LLDP task receives the VLAN IDs after DHCP negotiation, several criteria
must be successful before the deskphone accepts VLAN IDs from LLDP. For
more information, see
About Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) on page 120.
About controllers
A controller is a proxy server that routes the calls. A controller also works like a registrar and an
interface between Communication Manager and the deskphone; for example, Avaya Aura
®
Session Manager.

®
