CONFIGURING OPTION 184 ON A
WINDOWS 2000 DHCP SERVER
Overview RFC 2132 (DHCP Options and BOOTP Vendor Extensions) allows for
vendor-specific extensions to the DHCP protocol. It defines that all tags in
the range 128 through 254 are set aside for site-specific extensions.
When you configure option 184 on a Windows 2000 DHCP server, you
enable the server to pass the IP address of the NBX Call Processor to NBX
devices such as telephones.
This appendix provides information on how to configure option 184 on
an existing Windows 2000 server system that has been configured to run
the DHCP server software. It covers these topics:
■ Creating Option 184
■ Editing Option 184 Values
■ Activating Option 184
Assumptions ■ The information in this appendix pertains only to a Windows 2000
server. The configuration instructions differ for other DHCP servers.
■ This appendix describes only the configuration of option 184, not the
installation of the Windows 2000 server or the configuration of the
DHCP server software.
