Supported Provisioning Server Discovery Methods
After the phone has established network settings, it must discover a provisioning server to obtain
software updates and configuration settings.
The IP phone supports the following methods to discover the provisioning server address:
Zero Touch: Zero Touch feature guides you to configure network settings and the provisioning
server address via phone user interface after startup.
PnP: PnP feature allows IP phones to discover the provisioning server address by broadcasting the
PnP SUBSCRIBE message during startup.
DHCP: DHCP option can be used to provide the address or URL of the provisioning server to IP
phones. When the IP phone requests an IP address using the DHCP protocol, the resulting response
may contain option 66 (for IPv4)/ option 59 (for IPv6) or the custom option (if configured) that
contains the provisioning server address.
Static: You can manually configure the server address via phone user interface or web user
interface.
