Peer Firmware The Peer Firmware Sharing feature provides these
Sharing advantages in high speed campus LAN settings:
•

•
Peer Firmware Sharing may also aid in firmware
upgrades in branch/remote office deployment scenarios
over bandwidth-limited WAN links.
When enabled, it allows the phone to discover like
phones on the subnet that are requesting the files that
make up the firmware image, and to automatically
assemble transfer hierarchies on a per-file basis. The
individual files making up the firmware image are
retrieved from the TFTP server by only the root phone
