DHCP and VLAN
By using the BCM DHCP server, you can configure DHCP to auto-assign a
VLAN ID to each IP telephone that registers. With this configuration, you can
also choose to manually enter VLAN IDs, if you choose. The BCM DHCP
server becomes the default VLAN that everyone can reach. The server
provides the network configuration information in the default VLAN, and it also
provides the VLAN information for the network.
Site-specific options for VLAN
The BCM DHCP server resides in the default VLAN and is configured to
supply the VLAN information to the IP phones. The DHCP server supplies
site-specific options in the DHCP offer message.
The following definition describes the Nortel IP Phone 2004-specific, site-
specific option. This option uses the reserved for site specific use DHCP
options (DHCP option values 128 to 254) and must be returned by the DHCP
server as part of each DHCP OFFER and ACK message for the IP Phone
2004 to accept these messages as valid. The IP Phone 2004 pulls the relevant
information out of this option and uses it to configure the IP phone.
Format of field is: Type, Length, Data.
Type (1 octet):
Five choices 0x80, 0x90, 0x9d, 0xbf, 0xfb (128, 144, 157, 191, 251)
Providing a choice of five types allows the IP Phone 2004 to work in
environments where the initial choice may already be in use by a different
vendor. Select only one TYPE byte.
Length (1 octet): (variable depends on the message content)
Data (length octets):
ASCII based
format: VLAN-A:XXX,YYY.ZZZ.
where VLAN-A: uniquely identifies this as the Nortel DHCP VLAN
discovery.
-A signifies this version of this spec. Future enhancements could use -B,
for example.
ASCII , (comma) is used to separate fields.
ASCII . (period) is used to signal end of structure.
XXX, YYY and ZZZ are ASCII-encoded decimal numbers with a range of
0-4095. The number is used to identify the VLAN Ids. A maximum of 10
VLAN Ids can be configured. NONE means no VLAN (default VLAN).
The DHCP Offer message carrying VLAN information has no VLAN tag when
it is sent out from the DHCP server. However, a VLAN tag is added to the
packet at the switch port. The packets are untagged at the port of the IP
phone.
