Keywords:
Most of the parameters are configured through multiple methods. If you configure a parameter through more than one method, the device applies the settings of the method that has a higher precedence. The following list shows the precedence of the methods in the highest to lowest order:
  1. Administration menu on the phone. When the parameter USE_DHCP is set to 1, the phone gets the DHCP values from the DHCP rather than Administration menu of the phone.
  2. Administration menu on the phone. When the parameter USE_DHCP is set to 1, the phone gets the DHCP values from the DHCP rather than Administration menu of the phone.
  3. Administering the phone from the web UI.
  4. Avaya Aura® System Manager and IP Office.
  5. 46xxsettings.txt file
  6. DHCP.
  7. LLDP. There is an exception of LLDP getting a higher precedence than the 46xxsettings.txt file and DHCP when the layer 2 parameters, such as L2QVLAN, L2Q, L2QAUD, L2QVID, L2QSIG, DSCPAUD, DSCPSIG, and PHY2VLAN are set through LLDP.
Note:
When parameters of the 46xxsettings.txt file are removed, or are not used, they reset to their default value.
