Had to dig this up myself recently,there is a comparison here between SRST and CME/SRST:<br><a href="http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/prod/collateral/voicesw/ps6788/vcallcon/ps2169/prod_qas0900aecd8028d113.html">http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/prod/collateral/voicesw/ps6788/vcallcon/ps2169/prod_qas0900aecd8028d113.html</a><br>

Unless you have a firmware version mismatch, you do not need to
download the phone firmware over and over again, so I'd say there's no
burning need to provide the firmware files through tftp.<br>
<br>
Configuration files are provided through tftp, that may be more
important, however, the SRST router can act as a tftp server, and will
generate the cnf files on its own if configured.<br>
<br>
Also, functionality of the phone in SRST mode depends on the SRST and
not by the existance (or lack of) a tftp server. As far as I
understood, a CME/SRST mode offers much more functionality for example,
than a SRST only mode.<br>

let me down :)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>He wants to know using CM6.1 in SRST mode, does he require a
local tftp server for firmware for the handsets or will the phone a)
function in a minimal mode b) grab firmware from the router. c) yes you
do need a tftp server</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Any info would be greatly appreciated and yes he is looking up
the doco at the moment however, help me prove a point!</div>
