[cisco-voip] tftp server 255.255.255.255

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

You probably know those already, but some phones can have their TFTP server set manually. If you browse to the phones configuration page, you can look at the Alternate TFTP setting and see if it says Yes. 

With a remote control software or the clients help you can easily set this back to no.
