As Philipp said, you don't.  However it would make a great 3rd party  
module that could be added to Asterisk.  I use a combination of the  
PnP and web redirects (early V6 versions did not support the PnP, but  
they do automatically request a file from the DHCP web server) and  
MySQL databases.  It is now set where we just add the MAC address to  
the database and plug the phone it.  It auto-configures the rest  
(along with firmware updates).
