[Freeswitch-users] SIP Trunking

[Jeff Leung]

If the phone supports provisioning then you could probably use the phone's
MAC address as a filename and have your box to generate a config file on the
fly that way.


And yes, Ken is right on this one, a MAC address is really meant for the
link local network, not the WAN as most people think it is.

No... The MAC address on the wire would not actually be the mac address from
the phone if the there is a router between the phone and the server, and if
the mac address were embedded in the SIP messages it would be easy to spoof
so this is sorta useless for validating where the traffic came from (plus
MAC addresses are way easy to spoof, most network card drivers allow you to
actually specify the MAC you want to use as a setting)

Is there anyway in which we can authenticate SIP phones based on MAC
addresses?
