Title: How to manually override DHCP TFTP server on a Cisco phone
Post by: MC on February 12, 2014, 11:34:46 AM
Hi All, Some of you might know this already but for the longest time, I couldn't figure out how to manually set TFTP server on a Cisco phone while having DHCP enabled whether or not you get the option 150.

The trick is to set "Alternate TFTP" option to "Yes" and this will let you edit the TFTP server right underneath.

This is useful when you deal with an environment where option 150 is not available like a VPN phone or phone proxy at a user home, or if you want to quickly force a phone to a different TFTP server.

I figured I would share my little discovery.
