# Configuring the switch file server IP address TLV

Use this procedure to define the local file server IP addresses that switch ports can advertise to Avaya IP phones.

You can define IP addresses for a maximum of 4 local call servers.

| Note
| If your Avaya IP Handset uses SIP, 802.1AB (LLDP) TLVs do not provide all information for the IP Phone. You must specify a file server IP address TLV so the IP phone can download the SIP configuration information, because the IP Phone retrieves information related to the SIP domain, port number and transport protocol from the file server.

| Important
| The switch does not support the advertisement of IPv6 addresses to Avaya IP phones.
