Behavior is *supposed* to be:<br>
<br>
phone accepts TFTP server from one of various methods:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/products_administration_guide_chapter09186a00803eda84.html#wp1023019">http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/products_administration_guide_chapter09186a00803eda84.html#wp1023019</a><br>
<br>
the phone then acquires it's configuration file from the TFTP server<br>
<br>
Now, if the phone can do a successful DNS lookup of the CM servers in
the config file, then it is considered a 'good configuration'.<br>
<br>
The 'good configuration' is stored in nvram and used if the TFTP server
is unreachable at next boot.<br>
<br>
6608 does not do this. Not sure if IPC does or not.<br>

with TFTP. I was racking my head on why changes weren't being applied

failures.</font></div>
