Fully agreed.<br>
<br>
There is 1 optimization available that has not yet been leveraged. For
the "centralized TFTP" feature (see SRND) CM TFTP servers will serve up
files via HTTP. For an example see CSCsq48448.<br>
<br>
An ambitious individual could leverage this feature to setup something
similar to a TFTP proxy server:<br>
remote_site_phone<--tftp-->local_tftp_proxy<---http---->central_site_CM_TFTP_server<br>
<br>
The proxy would take a TFTP request, retrieve the requested file from
central via http, then serve it up locally via TFTP.<br>
This would use HTTP over the WAN for better efficiency. I am not aware
of anyone productizing this yet.<br>

quickly abandoned the idea. You have to remember that its not just the
phone loads that you're pulling from the tftp but also anytime you make
a change to a phone the phone needs to pull a new config file off the
tftp and that tftp server needs to be part of the cluster. You'd be
stuck manually or scripting the config files off the cluster tftp which
is an admin challenge to say the least.

<p class="MsoNormal"> I am looking at having multiple remote sites
on a single
cluster. I would prefer the remote sites have local TFTP servers, but
it’s
my understanding the TFTP servers for the phones must also be part of
the CUCM
cluster. Is this correct or is there any documentation on how to
standup a
separate TFTP server which isn’t part of the CUCM cluster?</p>
