TFTP failed - configuration file NOT FOUND

[drewmerc]

use the first 3 sets of numbers from the hfc mac and google "oui 00-11-22"
eg
00:18:68:12:34:56 (your hfc mac)
00:18:68 (the 3 numbers you want)
"oui 00-18-68" (this is what you enter into google)

first result http://standards.ieee.org/regauth/oui/oui.txt
search this doc (ctrl f) 00-18-68 results in this

Code:

00-18-68   (hex)        Scientific Atlanta, A Cisco Company
001868     (base 16)        Scientific Atlanta, A Cisco Company
                5030 Sugarloaf Parkway
                Lawrenceville GA 30044
                UNITED STATES

so what does this tell me and how does it help
well it tells me the mac is from an Scientific Atlanta modem so i guess i'll try and use configs that are for a sa modem maybe d11_m_dpc2505_showcase_c01.com (but at this point i have no idea if the modem is a dpc2505 or a dpc2200 but i'll just have to keep trying till i hit a config that matches)

dont know if the above will help but i found it interesting
