Understanding Phone Configuration Files
If you configure security-related settings in Cisco Unified CM Administration, the phone configuration file will contain sensitive information. To ensure the privacy of a configuration file, you must configure it for encryption. For detailed information, refer to the “Configuring Encrypted Phone Configuration Files” chapter in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Guide. A phone requests a configuration file whenever it resets and registers with Cisco Unified CM.
A phone accesses a default configuration file named XmlDefault.cnf.xml only when the phone has not received a valid Trust List file containing a certificate assigned to the Cisco Unified CM and TFTP.
If auto registration is not enabled and you did not add the phone to the Cisco Unified CM database, the phone does not attempt to register with Cisco Unified CM. The phone continually displays the "Configuring IP" message until you either enable auto-registration or add the phone to the Cisco Unified CM database.
If the phone has registered before, the phone will access the configuration file named SEPmac_address.cnf.xml, where mac_address is the MAC address of the phone.
For SIP phones, the TFTP server generates these SIP configuration files:
•SIP IP Phone:
–For unsigned and unencrypted files—SEP<mac>.cnf.xml
–For signed files—SEP<mac>.cnf.xml.sgn
–For signed and encrypted files—SEP<mac>.cnf.xml.enc.sgn
•Dial Plan—<dialplan>.xml
•Softkey Template—<softkey_template>.xml
The filenames are derived from the MAC Address and Description fields in the Phone Configuration window of Cisco Unified CM Administration. The MAC address uniquely identifies the phone.
For more information on phone configuration settings, go to the Cisco Unified IP Phone Configuration chapter in the Cisco Communications Manager Administration Guide.
For more information also refer to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Guide.
