DHCP Option 160 and Option 161

Yealink Skype for Business phones also support obtaining the provisioning server address by

detecting DHCP custom option during startup.

If DHCP Option 66 is not available, you can use custom option (160 or 161) with the URL or IP

address of the provisioning server. The phone will automatically detect the option 160 or 161 for
