DHCP Server Administration
Issue 1 January 2008 53
- Option 51 - DHCP lease time.
If this option is not received, the DHCPOFFER is not be accepted. Avaya
recommends a lease time of six weeks or greater. If this option has a value of
FFFFFFFF hex, the IP Address lease is assumed to be infinite as per RFC 2131,
Section 3.3, so that renewal and rebinding procedures are not necessary even if
Options 58 and 59 are received. Expired leases cause the telephones to reboot.
Avaya recommends providing enough leases so an IP Address for an IP telephone
does not change if it is briefly taken offline.
Note:
Note: The DHCP standard states that when a DHCP lease expires, the device should
immediately cease using its assigned IP Address. If the network has problems
and the only DHCP server is centralized, the server is not accessible to the given
telephone. In this case the telephone is not usable until the server can be
reached.
Avaya recommends, once assigned an IP Address, the telephone continues
using that address after the DHCP lease expires, until a conflict with another
device is detected. As Table 9:
Avaya Agent Deskphone 16CC Customizeable
System Parameters indicates, the system parameter DHCPSTD allows an
administrator to specify that the telephone will either:
a). Comply with the DHCP standard by setting DHCPSTD to “1”, or
b). Continue to use its IP Address after the DHCP lease expires by setting
DHCPSTD to “0.”
The latter case is the default. If the default is invoked, after the DHCP lease
expires the telephone sends an ARP Request for its own IP Address every five
seconds.
The request continues either forever, or until the telephone receives an ARP
Reply. After receiving an ARP Reply, the telephone displays an error message,
sets its IP Address to 0.0.0.0, and attempts to contact the DHCP server again.
- Option 52 - Overload Option, if desired.
If this option is received in a message, the telephone interprets the sname and file
fields in accordance with IETF RFC 2132,
Section 9.3, listed in Appendix B:
Related Documentation.
- Option 53 - DHCP message type.

3 (router IP Address[es])
6 (domain name server IP Address[es])
7 (log server)
15 (domain name)
26 (Interface MTU)
42 (NTP servers)
SSON (site-specific option number)
- Option 57 - Maximum DHCP message size.
