Network Config to Support the Skype Phones

When the Skype compatible VoIP phones are connected to the network, they rely on a few DHCP options to hop into our voice network.

Manually set the following options in your VOIP Scope:

  • DHCP Option 044 WINS/NBNS to a blank value
  • DHCP Option 015 value to losrios.edu
  • DHCP Option 042 IP Address value to 165.196.24.125
  • DHCP Option 160 with the value of https://165.196.25.251/firmwarefiles;ipp/tenant/LRCCD/
    • Note: You will need to create DHCP Option 160 via the Set Predefined Options context menu of the IPv4 Properties. The Data type should be set to String and Code is 160.

Run the following commands on your DHCP server which will affect your global DHCP scope.

Open your command prompt and input the following:

netsh <hit enter>

dhcp <hit enter>
