Grandstream SIP devices send out DHCP DISCOVER with the following information: 

 

 

 
DHCP Server can be configured to send the following information in its DHCP OFFER.  Please 
notice that in this example, an 

HTTP://URL

 is provided in the Option 66 “TFTP Server Name” 

field. Device will then issue HTTP requests instead of the traditional TFTP requests to the server. 
This design allows more flexibility in device provisioning. While all Grandstream SIP devices 
support DHCP Option 66, only new product series GXP21xx/14xx, GXV31xx, HT50x and 
GXW40xx support this additional flexibility.
