Turns out the DHCP configuration was vendor specific for the Mitel phones. I had to recreate specific additions and assign a certain value to each. I also ended up having to delete the configuration for VLAN ID to get it working.<br />

I don't know anything about IP phones. We use a Mitel SX-200 ICP and about 26 IP phones with built in switches for connecting PC's. Recently our DHCP configuration got wiped out on our W2K server and now our phones are stuck at &quot;WAITING FOR DHCP&quot;. Can anyone help me with reconfiguring the dhcp appropriately? Everything I have read and tried still isn't getting an IP to these phones.<br />
<br />
VLAN 1: LAN 192.168.0.X<br />
VLAN 2: IP Phones 192.168.5.X<br />
<br />
Also let me know what info you need and I will find out. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Mitel SX-200 ICP and DHCP on a W2K Server

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an auto configuration protocol used on IP networks and an extension of the Bootstrap Protocol. DHCP allows for computers to be configured automatically to communicate with each other over an IP network without the need for manual setup by a network administrator. The implementation of DHCP relies on a DHCP server to hand out network configuration information to DHCP-capable clients that request an IP address (and other information required or useful in communicating with other devices on an IP network). In addition to an IP address, common configuration information served over DHCP includes a default gateway, subnet mask and DNS sever(s).

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
