The firmware files should have different names, normally they would all be in the same TFTP folder and the phone would grab the correct filename.

The firmware upgrade process requires the OSxxx format. Normally using cme, the router tells the phone which files to load depending on the phone.<br />
These files are stored in the routers flash and are loaded automatically by the phone.<br />
The 7960 and 7940 use the same file if that helps.<br />

I will have a requirement to send different clients to different directories based on their MAC address. &nbsp;The idea is that based on a choice you make in a form, the MAC address of a phone you enter will be directed to the appropriate directory to get the firmware you need from a TFTP server. &nbsp;The phones being used will be Cisco 7960/7940 if that matters. &nbsp;Platform or software used for TFTP server does not matter. &nbsp;Ive also considered using a few different servers on different ports, and direct them that way.<br />
<br />
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Send TFTP clients to different directories based on MAC

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

Network design and methodology, also known as network architecture, is the design of a communication network. It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as data formats used in its operation. In telecommunication, the specification of a network architecture may also include a detailed description of products and services delivered via a communications network, as well as detailed rate and billing structures under which services are compensated.

Network Architecture

IP telephony (Internet Protocol telephony) is a general term for the technologies that use the Internet Protocol's packet-switched connections to exchange voice, fax, and other forms of information that have traditionally been carried over the dedicated circuit-switched connections of the public switched telephone network (PSTN). Using the Internet, calls travel as packets of data on shared lines, avoiding the tolls of the PSTN. The challenge in IP telephony is to deliver the voice, fax, or video packets in a dependable flow to the user.
