You are upgrading your Avaya IP Office network with a new release of software. What is the procedure to install new binary files for the Avaya IP phones?

Question

Options

• AThe telephones receive new firmware using HTTP
• BThe system pushes the firmware to the telephones automatically
• CSFTP is used to replace old files with new ones
• DThe new binary files are included with the DHCP information

• A
  91% (21)
• B
  4% (1)
• C
  4% (1)

Explanation

Avaya IP phones retrieve new firmware binary files from the IP Office system using HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) - the phones initiate an HTTP request to download updated files from the system's file server during boot or registration, making option A correct.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B is misleading because the system does not actively push firmware; rather, the phones pull the files via HTTP when they check in.
• C (SFTP) is used by administrators to upload new firmware files to the IP Office server - not as the delivery mechanism to the phones themselves.
• D is incorrect because DHCP provides network configuration (IP address, gateway, TFTP server address), not the binary files themselves.

Memory tip: Think of it as phones "shopping" for their own updates - they pull files via HTTP, just like a browser downloads a file. The admin stages the files on the server (via SFTP), but the phone does the fetching (via HTTP).
