Short answer is that the unrestricted version contains no encryption features.  Restricted contains encryption capabilities.

did u mean that the restricted version would be more security?

but if i have chose the unrestricted version ,any feature would be limited or could not be used??

Hi Qiyu,

Just to add a note to the good tips from my friend Joe (+5 Joe)

Each CUCM version since 7.1(5) has both the "normal" Restricted

version and an un-Restricted version available for download (.iso). You

will almost certainly want to run the "Restricted" version

Here are the clip/notes;

Unrestricted Export Support

#

The  restricted US export classification on Cisco Unified CM meant that  governmental and military customers in many countries could not employ  Unified CM in their networks.

#

In  addition to the delay inherent in obtaining export licenses, products  classified as restricted by the Department of Commerce (DoC) carry a  requirement to allow US government representatives to demand on-site  inspections at any time to confirm that the product is being used in  accordance with its licensed purpose. This post-shipment verification  (PSV) is unacceptable to many customers.

#

Additionally,  some foreign countries maintain import restrictions which prohibited  Unified CM from being available to customers in those countries. Both US  export and foreign import issues stem from Unified CM support for  strong encryption of signaling and media.

#

Unrestricted Classification

#

Because  Cisco has obtained an unrestricted classification from the DoC for a  version of Unified CM, beginning with Unified CM 7.1(5), both restricted  and unrestricted versions of Unified CM will be released in parallel.

#

Limitations

#

Signaling  and media encryption is permanently disabled in the unrestricted  version, but remains unchanged in the restricted version.

#

Migration from the unrestricted version to the restricted version is not supported.


#

Note No  impact exists to other security features such as HTTP(s), SSH, password  encryption and authentication (for example, SIP digest authentication),  mechanisms used by unrestricted Unified CM clients such as JTAPI, TSP,  encryption of SNMP traffic, encryption of data related to database that  is done by using IPSEC and IMS on the server side.

The communication between CTL client and provider remains encrypted.
