how to generate XMLDefault.cnf.xml on tftp

[sarahr202]

Hi everybody.

No ip phone is connected.  I am trying to see how XMLDefault.cnf  file can be created and transfered to tftp server

Tftp server------sw--------cme router

tftp--201.201.201.3

cme 201.201.201.1

The Tftp server should have XMLDefault.cnf.xml on its root directory. The question is how do we do that?

I configured the CME router as follows:

Router#show running-config

Building configuration...

Current configuration : 1808 bytes

=========================================

These are my assumptions:

When I configured the CME as shown below, a XMLDefault.cnf file will be created and stored on tftp server.

I appreciate your help.

thanks and have a great weekend

CME will generate the TFTP configuration files locally in flash and serve these to the phones. Why do you want to have the TFTP server on another device? To do that you need to copy the files that CME creates to the same path on the external server and you have to do that each time you do any modification in CME. If you ask me that will very quickly become a admin nightmare. Better to let the CME be the TFTP server.

My 2 cent :)

Sarah,

I am 100% with Roger (+5 R).
Run the TFTP server on the CME.

Can I also point out that your DHCP pool for
ITS on VLAN 2 needs a much needed line in
the config

!
ip dhcp pool ITS
network 201.201.201.1 255.255.255.0
option 150 ip 201.201.201.3
default-router 201.201.201.1
!

Regards,
Alex.

Thanks Roger and Alex

Just out of curiosity, If I want to have separate tftp server to provide these firm files.I do following:

1) generate cnf file first on flash.

2) then transfer these files ( cnf file and firmware files) to tftp server.

Am i correct?

thanks and have a great weekend.

Yes that should work.
