Avaya S8100 User Manual

Configure DHCP and TFTP servers

The S8100 system is shipped with DHCP and TFTP servers installed on the TN2314 Processor circuit 
pack. These servers can be used if the customer does not already have DHCP and/or TFTP servers on 
their network. To use the embedded DHCP and/or TFTP servers, they must be configured as described in 
this section.

IP addresses for IP telephones and other IP devices can be assigned manually. Alternatively, IP addresses 
can be assigned automatically using a DHCP server. Customers can use the DHCP server provided with 
the S8100 system or use a DHCP server already on their network.

The S8100 DHCP server and another network DHCP server should not both be configured 
to support the same IP devices at the same time.

To enable the DHCP server on S8100:

From a Terminal Server session, click Start 

→

 Programs.

If you receive error messages when starting a Terminal Server session, click OK for each error 
message.

Double-click Administrative Tools.

Double-click Services.

Double-click DHCP server.

From the Startup type drop-down menu, select Automatic.

If you want to start the server immediately, click Start.
or
If you do not want to start the server immediately, click OK and close every intermediate window.

Servers that you selected a Startup Type of Automatic for will turn on every time you reboot the 
system.

For information about administering DHCP, see Chapter 4 in 4600 Series IP Telephone LAN
