Introduction
This document describes how to configure a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Server on
Windows 2000 to work with the Cisco IP Telephony solution, Cisco CallManager. Cisco CallManager
devices boot up and request an IP address. They also need additional information, such as the default gateway
and the TFTP Server IP Address (Option 150). This document provides a stepbystep procedure on how to
configure all the necessary parameters for the Windows 2000 DHCP Server.

Configure the Windows 2000 DHCP Server


The configuration of the Windows 2000 DHCP Server for Cisco CallManager has two major tasks.
1. Create a new scope in the DHCP server.
2. Add a TFTP option to the scope.

Create a New Scope in the DHCP Server


Complete these steps in order to create a new DHCP scope.
1. Select Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > DHCP in order to go to the DHCP Manager.

2. Rightclick the DHCP Server and click New Scope.

3. Follow the instructions in the New Scope Wizard.

4. Add a Name and a Description for your new scope and click Next in order to continue.

5. Add the IP Address Range which you want the DHCP Server to hand out IP Addresses in. Make sure
to set the subnet mask correctly for what your network settings are.

Click Next to continue.


Note: You may want to exclude IP Addresses within this range that have been previously assigned to
other devices, so that the same addresses are not used twice.

6. Set the Lease Duration to a value that makes sense for your network. This is how often the IP
address of a device expires and it needs to be renewed by the device.

Click Next to continue.


7. You need to configure additional options for the devices to pick up when they get their IP Addresses
from the DHCP Server. Select Yes, I want to configure these options now option.

Click Next to continue.


8. All devices need a Default Gateway configured. This is the router interface nearest to the devices,
which has an interface on the same IP subnet as the devices. This is where the devices send IP packets
if the receiving device is not on the same IP subnet as the sending device. Type the IP address of the
Default Gateway and click Add.

Note: If you intend to use the Domain Name System (DNS) in your network, you can configure the
device to receive an IP address for the domain name and DNS servers.

9. Skip the Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) server configuration because Cisco CallManager
devices do not use WINS (just click Next). Then Click No, I will activate this scope later.

10. Click Finish.

The new DHCP Scope is now created. However, it is not Active and does not hand out IP addresses
yet.

Add the TFTP Option to the Scope


Cisco IP Phones expect the DHCP server to also provide the IP address of the TFTP server. By default, the
TFTP option is not available in a newly defined DHCP scope. Complete these steps in order to add the TFTP
option to the scope.
1. Rightclick the server and select Set Predefined Options, then click Add.

2. Enter the Name as TFTP Server IP Address, Data Type is IP Address, Code is 150, and Description
is TFTP Server IP Address for CallManager Devices.

3. Click OK and then Edit Array. Enter the IP address(es) for TFTP server(s) that are normally housed
on the Cisco CallManager systems.

4. Click OK twice in order to complete the creation of Option 150. Under the new Cisco CallManager
DHCP Scope you created is a field labeled "Scope Options". If you rightclick Scope Options and
select Configure Options, you can select Option 150 as an option to hand out to Devices.

5. Click Apply and OK in order to see that the scope now has Option 150.
