TFTP file not found

[ruben]

Hi.

We have been running CME for many years without problems.

However, lately one of our phones will not boot.

I tried a factory reset on it (7940). Then it did this:

Configuring VLAN
Configuring IP
TFTP P00308010200.loads
TFTP file not found

Now i loops on TFTP file not found.

I've checked that the file is there and that tftp-server is in the config.

show running-config | sec 7940
tftp-server flash:/phone/7940/P00308010200.bin alias P00308010200.bin
tftp-server flash:/phone/7940/P00308010200.sb2 alias P00308010200.sb2
tftp-server flash:/phone/7940/P00308010200.sbn alias P00308010200.sbn
tftp-server flash:/phone/7940/P00308010200.loads alias P00308010200
load 7960-7940 P00308010200

It gets an IP from our DHCP server and the Option 150 is (as always) enabled pointing to the Cisco router.

I tried reboot one of our 7941 phones and noticed that it said "auth error" but continued after a while and works... I assume this might be a related problem.

Anyone that knows what to do?

Should be:

tftp-server flash:/phone/7940/P00308010200.loads alias P00308010200.loads

and

tftp-server flash:/phone/7940/P00308010200.sbn alias P00308010200.sbn

is not necessary. CME does not use signed firmware

Note, if you update IOS, you can do without the tftp commands, and gain a lot of nice features.

[ruben]

That didn't help. New config:

show running-config | sec 7940
tftp-server flash:/phone/7940/P00308010200.bin alias P00308010200.bin
tftp-server flash:/phone/7940/P00308010200.sb2 alias P00308010200.sb2
tftp-server flash:/phone/7940/P00308010200.loads alias P00308010200.loads
load 7960-7940 P00308010200

I'm running the latest IOS, Version 15.1(2)T2. Do you really mean that I can remove all the tftp-server commands? Do I have to introduce something else instead?

Ruben

[paolo bevilacqua]

You can remove all the tftp-server commands, except termXX.default.loads, and sidecar firmware.

Configure

load 7960-7940 P00308010200.loads

and so for all phone types.

If still trouble, collect "debug tftp events" with "terminal monitor".

[ruben]

I'll try with the 7940 files first:

no tftp-server flash:/phone/7940/P00308010200.bin alias P00308010200.bin
no tftp-server flash:/phone/7940/P00308010200.sb2 alias P00308010200.sb2
no tftp-server flash:/phone/7940/P00308010200.loads alias P00308010200.loads

telephony-service

load 7960-7940 P00308010200.loads
LOAD COMMAND ERROR:cnf-file location system is not supported for creating automatic tftp bindings. Please use file location flash | slot0 | tftp OR create tftp bindings manually

Do I have to configure this in some way, or tell it that the file is in a sub folder. I tried to specify full path the got limited by too many char's.

Hello all. Someone please help with the TFTP file not found error please. I have successfully reset the ip phone 7940 by following the steps above but yet the same TFTP file not found error keeps coming up. Please help asap.

Regards

[Thomas Dominic]

Hi Ruben,

Did you perform a firmware upgrade on the phone recently?

also could you please post the output of

                                                           debug tftp events

                                                           debug ephone register

Regards

Thomas Dominic

P.S. Please rate helpfull comments

Debug output:

TFTP: Looking for CTLSEP0014A815B89B.tlv

No output for EPHONE (reg)

In an attempt to fix this I removed the ephone. Now it's not registrered any more. I assume it will auto-reg when it passes the TFTP error...?

Yes, I upgraded from IOS 12.4 to 15 some months ago.

[paolo bevilacqua]

No, you must manually configure the ephone with correct mac-address and type.

Also forgot to mention, to use automatic tftp bindings, configure "cnf-file location flash:" under telephony-service.

[ruben]

I've registrered the phone manually now and done the load commands.

Debug output is now:

The phone has stopped giving the "TFTP file not found". Instead it now says: "File auth error".

[paolo bevilacqua · Accepted solution]

Phone must have been on an older firmware and cannot jump to this latest one in one step.

Copy in something like 8.0(10) files, configure load, repeat.

If still trouble, do again with 7.x

[ruben]

Back to "TFTP file not found" now...

This is version 6.x (I've tried with 7.x and 8.0x too). Version 5 and below does not include a loads-file, so I assume I can't try those versions.

[paolo bevilacqua · Accepted solution]

For this old firmware, you need to configure tftp-server anyway, and specify load without the .load extension.

You should be ok loading 7.x

[Thomas Dominic]

Verify that 7940 is running the file to load (settings> model informations> App Load ID),

access the router and confirm that there is a file in the flash, for example, "P0030702T023.sbn and P0030702T023.loads {i.e. required} "

in  "telephony-service"

change the line from "load p00308000400 7960-7940" to "load P0030702T023 7960-7940."

After that restart the phone with the problem.

Backup your conf before you make these changes, i think this should solve it,

Paolo Could you please confirm the same

Hello All, In our lab we had 20 have number of Cisco 7960G IP Phones. Some 9 of them are facing ‘tftp file not found’ issue. First of all, can anyone explain what could cause this? I have checked firmware version for the operational ones and this is P00308000500 . Therefore, I have downloaded from Cisco the file cmterm-7940-7960-sccp.8-0-5.zip I have extracted it and put it on my TFTPD64 server the extracted files – P00308000500.bin P00308000500.sbn P00308000500.sb2 P00308000500.loads I copied these files on my router- Router# copy tftp://10.1.1.10/ P00308000500.bin flash: Router# copy tftp://10.1.1.10/ P00308000500.sbn flash: Router# copy tftp://10.1.1.10/ P00308000500.sb2 flash: Router# copy tftp://10.1.1.10/ P00308000500.loads flash: Router# dir flash: -> shows these files are there.

Is there any way multiple phones can be fixed of this issue, if I connect all to via same 3560 switch and 2811 router. Could you please help. Many thanks in advance. Cheers, Mohammad
