2.2.2.1.2 Boot Server Deployment for the Phones
The following table describes the steps required for successful deployment of one or
more boot servers for SoundPoint
®
IP and SoundStation
®
IP phones (except for Sound-
Point
®
IP 300 and 500 phones). Multiple boot servers can be configured by having the
boot server DNS name map to multiple IP addresses. The default number of boot serv-
ers is one and the maximum number is eight. The following protocols are supported
for redundant boot servers: HTTPS, HTTP, and FTP.
All of the boot servers must be reachable by the same protocol and the content avail-
able on them must be identical. The parameters described in section 2.2.1.3.3 Server
Menu on page 11 can be used to configure the number of times each server will be
tried for a file transfer and also how long to wait between each attempt. The maximum
number of servers to be tried is configurable. Contact Polycom Customer Support for
more information.

Note
Be aware of how logs, overrides and directories are uploaded to servers that maps to multiple IP
addresses. The server that these files are uploaded to may change over time.
.If you want to use redundancy for uploads, you will have to synchronize the files between servers in
the background.
You may want to disable the redundancy for uploads by specifying specific IP addresses instead of
URLs for logs, overrides, and directory in the MAC.cfg.
