DNS server IP address
TFTP server IP address
Collect this information and see Chapter 4, “Configuring Network Settings on the Cisco
Unified IP Phone.”
Configuring Security on the Cisco Unified IP Phone
The security features protects against several threats, including threats to the identity of the phone and
to data. These features establish and maintain authenticated communication streams between the phone
and the Cisco
Unified Communications Manager server, and digitally sign files before they are
delivered.
For more information about the security features, see the “Understanding Security Features for Cisco
Unified IP Phones” section on page 1-7. Also, refer to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security
Guide.
A Locally Significant Certificate (LSC) installs on phones after you perform the necessary tasks that are
associated with the CAPF. You can use Cisco
Communications Manager Administration to configure an
LSC, as described in Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Security Guide.
Alternatively, you can initiate the installation of an LSC from the Security Configuration menu on the
phone. This menu also lets you update or remove an LSC.
Before you do so, make sure that the appropriate Cisco Unified Communications Manager and the
Certificate Authority Proxy Function (CAPF) security configurations are complete:
The CTL file should have a CAPF certificate.
The CAPF certificate must exist in the /usr/local/cm/.security/certs folder in every server in the
cluster.
The CAPF is running and configured.
The phone should have the correct load file. To verify the image, choose
Settings
> Status > Firmware Versions. The application load file should begin with P00308.
