You can add phones with auto-registration without first gathering MAC addresses
from the phones.
Cisco recommends you use auto-registration to add less than 100 phones to your
network. To add more than 100 phones to your network, use the Bulk
Administration Tool (BAT). See the
page 2-16.
When auto-registration is enabled, Cisco Unified CallManager begins the
automatic startup process to obtain a directory number. During auto-registration,
Cisco Unified CallManager automatically assigns the next available sequential
directory number to the phone.
When you use this method, Cisco Unified CallManager automatically assigns
directory numbers to new phones as they register with Cisco Unified
CallManager.
You can use auto-registration to quickly enter phones into the
Cisco Unified CallManager database. You can then modify any settings, such as
the directory numbers, from Cisco Unified CallManager. Additionally, you can
move auto-registered phones to new locations and assign them to different device
pools without affecting their directory numbers.
Auto-registration is disabled by default.
For information about enabling and configuring auto-registration, refer to Cisco
Unified CallManager Administration Guide.
When you configure the cluster for mixed mode through the Cisco CTL client,
auto-registration is automatically disabled. When you configure the cluster for
non-secure mode through the Cisco CTL client, auto-registration is automatically
enabled.
