New and Changed Information
This section contains these topics:
•
Adaptive LLDP-MED
The Adaptive Link Layer Discovery Protocol-Media Endpoint Device (Adaptive LLDP-MED) feature delays transmitting LLDP packets at IP phone startup until the system verifies that LLDP messaging is supported. During this period, the voice-VLAN phone configuration is available through valid Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) messaging. The duration of the verification is typically about 6 to 30 seconds.
The Adaptive implementation was added to the LLDP-MED feature two reasons:
•
•
The feature affects only the network (switch) port-state machine of the IP phone.
After both CDP and LLDP packets have been received on the SW port, LLDP becomes the preferred protocol. (Even with the Adaptive implementation, some exceptions may cause a port to shut down.)
If the customer's network configuration does not support LLDP messaging, it is recommended that LLDP be disabled permanently in the Cisco Unified CM Administration application in the Phone Configuration window. Failing to disable LLDP when it is not supported may cause issues for customers that are using older or legacy switches with port security enabled.
To disable LLDP in the Cisco Unified CM Administration application, choose Device > Phone, select the appropriate IP phones, and scroll to the Product Specific Configuration Layout pane.
The Adaptive LLDP-MED feature is supported on the following IP phones:

Trust Verification Service and Security by Default
To support secure connections with other components of the system, a Cisco Unified IP Phone authenticates the certificates of the components by validating the certificates with corresponding entries in the Certificate Trust List (CTL) file. The CTL file for all Cisco Unified IP Phone models has a maximum limit of 32 entries.
The Trust Verification Service (TVS) allows the phone to authenticate other components without the need to add the corresponding entry to the CTL file. Adding new components or services does not require the CTL file to be updated on all the phones.
The Security by Default feature removes the restriction that requires the user to create the CTL file by using eTokens to provide and enable security features. The signed file is automatically enabled by default.
The Trust Verification Service and Security by Default feature is supported on the following IP phones:
