Question

A Unified Communications engineer wants to configure a Cisco TelePresence SX endpoint using static IP addressing to use a different TFTP server. Which path will allow the engineer to complete this configuration?

Options

  • ANetwork Services > Network 1 > DHCP RequestTFTPServerAddress > Off
  • BNetwork > TFTP > DHCP RequestTFTPServerAddress > Off
  • CNetwork Services > TFTP > DHCP RequestTFTPServerAddress > Off
  • DConfiguration > System Configuration > Provisioning > Set the External Manager Address

Why each option

When a Cisco TelePresence SX endpoint uses static IP, DHCP-based TFTP discovery is unavailable, so the provisioning server must be set manually via the system configuration menu.

ANetwork Services > Network 1 > DHCP RequestTFTPServerAddress > Off

The 'Network Services > Network 1 > DHCP RequestTFTPServerAddress' path does not exist in the SX endpoint menu hierarchy and conflates unrelated menu trees.

BNetwork > TFTP > DHCP RequestTFTPServerAddress > Off

There is no 'Network > TFTP' sub-menu on SX endpoints; this path is fabricated and does not map to any real configuration node.

CNetwork Services > TFTP > DHCP RequestTFTPServerAddress > Off

While 'Network Services' is a real section, the 'TFTP' sub-node under it is not the correct location for TFTP server address configuration, and simply toggling DHCP off leaves the server address unset.

DConfiguration > System Configuration > Provisioning > Set the External Manager AddressCorrect

With static IP addressing, the endpoint cannot use DHCP option 150 to auto-discover the TFTP server. Navigating to Configuration > System Configuration > Provisioning and entering the External Manager Address allows the engineer to manually point the endpoint to the correct TFTP/provisioning server, which is the only supported method when DHCP is not in use.
