How to find a SIP phone configured with dhcp on the network?

Question

Telephony

There is a desire not to register ip-addresses in SIP-phones manually, but to give them addresses via dhcp. This, of course, is very easy to do, but here's how to connect to them later on the web muzzle? After all, the address is dynamic! I did not find any semblance of hostname either in yealink or in fanvil that could be addressed by the name of the device. Well, i.e. there is only the mac-address of the phone on hand, but what to do with it?

Answer 1

Just wondering how it's done in big offices with hundreds of phones.

No one climbs into their web muzzles. Use autoprovision. The phone starts up, receives basic network settings from DHCP and the address of the tftp server for provision, loads its configuration file and applies. Yealink, even the cheapest ones can do this. I won't say anything about fanvil. And some old Ciscos do not have the ability to configure through the face at all - only remote download of the config from a tftp server.

Answer 2

Type in cmd: arp -a
