DHCP Option
DHCP provides a framework for passing information to TCP/IP network devices. Network
and other control information are carried in tagged data items that are stored in the
options field of the DHCP message. The data items themselves are also called options.
DHCP can be initiated by simply connecting the IP phone with the network. IP phones
broadcast DISCOVER messages to request the network information carried in DHCP
options, and the DHCP server responds with specific values in corresponding options.
The following table lists common DHCP options supported by IP phones.
