Trivial File Transfer
Protocol (TFTP)
TFTP allows you to transfer files
over the network.
On the Cisco Unified IP Phone,
TFTP enables you to obtain a
configuration file specific to the
phone type.
TFTP requires a TFTP server in your
network, which can be automatically
identified from the DHCP server. If
more than one TFTP server is
running in your network, you must
manually assign a TFTP server to
each phone locally.
User Datagram Protocol
(UDP)
UDP is a connectionless messaging
protocol for delivery of data packets.
Cisco Unified IP Phones receive and
process UDP messages.
