Using 3560 switch to assign DHCP IPs to Avaya IP Phones

littlesv42 · ‎07-01-2009

Does anyone know how or if you can setup 3560 using DHCP to assign VLAN to Avaya 4600 series IP Phones? I have no open RJ45 wall jacks and will need to hookup the switch has a standalone plugged into the RJ45 wall plate. From there I will hook up 30+ phones directly into the switch.

I'm not sure I understand your question, but if you want to use the 3560 itself as a DHCP server you are out of luck. It does not have that capability.

Hi

It depends upon u r planning to have any vlanson it or in ur network.

suppose u r having a vlan in it the config would like below.

interface vlan 100

ip address 100.100.100.1 255.255.255.0

no shut

exit

ip dhcp pool avaya

network 100.100.100.0 255.255.255.0

default-router 100.100.100.1

and u need some other configs if u r planning for ip phones like option 150 etc.

Thanks
