Avaya H.323 9608 - Proposed Solution; LLDP Setup and Troubleshooting Steps

server fails, the phone will not be able to read the MCIPADD value or any of the 46xxsettings
file parameters. Therefore, do not use this method of providing MCIPADD.
Proposed Solution
Procedure
1. A more robust way to provide this value is to use DHCP. You can administer the
DHCP server to provide MCIPADD using DHCP Option 242. You can also
administer the TLSSRVR, HTTPSRVR and L2QVLAN parameters using this option.
phones using non-static addressing automatically use the DHCP request method.
Option 242 is the default DHCP offer and may get MCIPADD and other addresses
using this way.
2. The phone displays the Waiting for LLDP message when both the HTTP and
HTTPS Server IP address are not administered. To administer the HTTP and/or
HTTPS server, use the Craft ADDR procedure and enter the correct HTTP and or
HTTPS File Server IP address in the File Server field.
3. An alternative protocol known as LLDP can also supply call server, and file server
with HTTP and HTTPS IP addresses. This IETF standard protocol requires the
network to be equipped and configured to support LLDP. You can provide HTTP
and the HTTPS Server and call server IP addresses with LLDP in the network using
proprietary Transport Layer Values (TLVs) to pass information to the phones.

LLDP setup and troubleshooting steps
Note:
If system value
STATIC is set to 0 which is the default setting, the DHCP or the 46xxsettings
file might overwrite the static addresses.
Note:

for details on how to set “STATIC” to use manually programmed IP addresses.
