I'm working on brushing up my speed on basics for CME and have always had trouble being speedy about setting up tftp-server syntax and load information for SCCP and SIP components. I've come up with a couple shortcuts but am wondering if someone else has a better approach. Starting off, in order to configure CME we will need the phone type and MAC address, so before we do anything it seems like doing a *cdp neighbour detail* will tell us everything. Copy and paste into notepad, then shut down the ports to avoid auto registration. I've gotten into the habit of copying the * tftp-server* syntax from CME-7-0-full-readme-v.1.0.txt, but this doesn't solve everything since the example syntax doesn't seem to have SIP loads. So, those have to be added manually. I still find the process lengthy and prone to error. If there's a mistake along the way, an SCCP phone could download a SIP load and you'll lose valuable time unscrewing it.
Does anyone have a better way of doing this, or is it a matter of practive and getting REALLY good with notepad? -- -Shikamaru
