An IP deskphone cannot function without an IP address. The failure of a DHCP
server at boot time leaves all the affected deskphones unusable. A user can
manually assign an IP address to an IP deskphone. When the DHCP server
finally returns, the deskphone never looks for a DHCP server unless the static IP
data is unassigned manually. In addition, manual entry of IP data is an
error-prone process.

Avaya recommends that:
●
A minimum of two DHCP servers be available for reliability.
●
A DHCP server be available when the IP deskphone reboots.
●
A DHCP server be available at remote sites if WAN failures isolate IP deskphones from the

Configuring DHCP for 1603SW-I SIP IP Deskphones
1603SW-I SIP IP Deskphones allow you to specify the value of some configuration parameters
using DHCP option 242. If you have 46xx phones that use option 176, you can make a copy of
an existing option 176. Then, using that copy to administer DHCP option 242, you can either:
