second tftp server for IP phones

[jjoseph01]

Hi all.  I have a question Im hoping you guys can help me on.  I am in need of having to have some IP phones (about 200 of 400) that will have to be limited on the ringtones that they can have, while the managment, etc wants to have all the ringtones.  I think, based on what I read, Im going to have to have a second tftp server to accomplish this.  I think my needs are as follows, but would like to get your input on this:

1.  a separate vlan

2.  a separate dhcp scope with the second option 150

3.  a separate server with the files (I may need input on this, as Im not sure exactly what files Id need)

Any help would be appreicated.  Im not sure as to what files I would need.  I assume this would be just having a tftp service running on the server and the files in the tftp folder, but again, Im just not sure what files I would need to put in there.  Any help appreciated.  Thanks.

In the TFTP service parameters you can define alternate servers to which files are replicated, that's what you need to configure.

Then make sure the phones with limited ring tones point to that TFTP.

Upload the ringlist with limited optiones and files if necessary.

If you need separate phone backgrounds, same applies.

Thanks for the reply.  I get that, but I cant seem to get the ringlist down from the server.  Any idea on how to do that, so that I can edit it?

You should be able to get it using this command

From the command prompt on a Windows machine, type:

tftp get SEPxxxx.cnf.xml

If will download it to the current directory

Just change the filename

Thanks, I got it with your suggestion.  Any hint on how to get it back up to the server?  I get the following when I type this in: tftp put Ringlist.xml

Error on server : Illegal TFTP operation

Any idea?

That's exclusively for downloading from CUCM server

If you're uploading to CUCM server use the TFTP management from OS GUI.

For other TFTPs you'd need to refer to their documentation on how to upload files or if there is a directory you can drop the files.

Dear Gents,

     i'm facing a problem using this command tftp get SEPxxxx.cnf.xml as it always give me "Timeout occurred Connect request failed"

so does this command has any restrictions or requirements ? i'm using WIN 7

your help is highly appreciatted.

Hi,

check your profile: private-public in network and sharing if you change to private then windows fw won't block tftp.

while doing the download do a debug tftp event on your router.

Regards.

Alain.

Thanks Alain, the windows firewall was blocking the connection and when i disabled it everything was okay.

thanks
