[Asterisk-Users] TFTP Server

[Gary G. Hendershot]

The Cisco phone is defaulted to getting its IP address and related from a
DHCP server ...  One of the things the phone expects to get from the DHCP
server is the address of the TFTP server ... If there is no TFTP server
address handed out by the DHCP server, the phone assumes that the DHCP
server is also the TFTP server ...

In many cases, a low end SOHO style router/nat/firewall gizmo is used to
provide the DHCP service for a small office or home environment ... the DHCP
server provided by these gadgets is just flat not smart enough to be
configured with the settings that the phone wants to see ...  So the easiest
solution to setting up the phone becomes providing it with manual settings
instead of using DHCP ... It is also possible to configure a DHCP service on
your Asterisk box, but then you open yet another can of worms ...

It is possible to assign it a static IP address and also a static TFTP
server IP address ... I seem to recall that the default key combination on
the Cisco 7960 to "unlock" the settings is to press " **# " just before you
press the "settings" button, but don't hold me to it ... Check the Cisco web
site for this piece of the puzzle as I could be wrong ...

If you want to compare notes on using the Cisco 7960 you can email me off
list and I will happily share what I have figured out ...  You may figure
out a trick that can help me also as my config is still far from perfect ...

Regards

G.Hendershot

Thanks Clay Reiche.

Anyone,
Why is the 7960 looking for a call manager at 168.254.173.1?

Edit /etc/xinetd.d/tftp
The -s argument is the root directory and make sure you set disable = no.

G'Day All,

Can anyone give me some direction in setting up the TFTP server on my RadHat
ES3 box?

I did quite a bit of reading, but I think I am more unsure now than before.
I found the information nebulous. TFTP is already installed. I am trying to
determine where the root directory for the tftp services is located so I can
copy the CISCO 7960 firmware files onto it.  Thanks....
