Configuring Startup Network Settings

Configuring Startup Network Settings

If you are not using DHCP in your network, you must configure these network settings on the

Cisco Unified IP Phone after installing the phone on the network:

IP address

IP subnet information (subnet mask for IPv4 and subnet prefix length for IPv6)

Default gateway IP address

TFTP server IP address

You also may configure the domain name and the DNS server settings, if necessary.

Collect this information and see the instructions in Chapter 4, “Configuring Settings on the Cisco Unified IP Phone.”

Configuring Security on the Cisco Unified IP Phone

The security features protect 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 1-11. 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 Certificate Authority Proxy Function (CAPF). You can use

Cisco Unified 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.

Refer to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Guide for more information.

Depending on how you have configured the CAPF, this procedure installs an LSC, updates an existing LSC, or removes an existing LSC.

To configure an LSC on the phone, follow these steps:

Procedure

Step 1 Obtain the CAPF authentication code that was set when the CAPF was configured.

Step 2 From the phone, press the Applications Menu button, then choose Settings > Security Configuration.
