The Windows NT

 4.0 DHCP server configuration involves setting up a scope for the IP 

telephone. A DHCP scope is essentially a grouping of IP devices, in this case IP telephones, 
running the DHCP client service in a subnet. The scope defines parameters for each subnet. 
Each scope has the following properties:

●

A unique subnet mask used to determine the subnet related to a given IP address.

●

A scope name assigned by the administrator when the scope is created.

●

Lease duration values to be assigned to DHCP clients with dynamic addresses.

In addition, the DHCP server can assign configuration parameters to a client, and these can be 
specified for each DHCP scope.

 4.0 DHCP server requires the following steps:

1. Creating a DHCP scope for the IP telephones. 

2. Editing custom options. 

3. Adding the DHCP options. 

4. Activating the new scope. 

5. Verifying your configuration.
