[cisco-voip] Manually upload phone loads prior to upgrading

[Nate VanMaren]

What you really need is a caching TFTP proxy server, kind of like super cluster TFTP, that runs on the ISR.

So you'd just point option 150 to the local router and it would go get the file that the phones need and cache the loads for the next time.

If the load is not on the load server, it says file not found on the phone and continues to boot

Is there a way to easily extract the phone loads off of either the CUCM tftp server or from the device-pack cop file?

I am thinking I can smell cooking a simple tftp file to check for new loads and download them to the local flash (and setup the necessary tftp-server commands on IOS).  Quick and easy distributed load servers :)

So is there a file (or even AXL if required) where you can get a list of loads?   What happens when a load is not found on the defined load server?  Will it try another tftp server (ie: CUCM)?

Then you can use the load server setting on the phones to point them to a local tftp server for phone loads.  This way you can put the loads on the router and not have to force phones into SRST to upgrade their loads.
