We do currently have the cisco's on their own vlan along with the servers, but I'm told vlan hopping is trivial so that's not considered secure... considering all you have to do is change a route on a box to get to the vlan. And has anyone actually got sip_notify to work for the cisco phones? I can't quite figure out how to configure it to send the phone a reboot. The default doesn't work, and neither do any of the variations I've used.

We've currently got 4 servers, and anytime we make any major modifications to the servers, the phones have to be rebooted. We've got about 55 cisco 7940's (which is going to steadily increase over the next few months), does anyone know of a way to reboot the phones without using the telnet function? The powers that be here don't like the telnet cause it's insecure, and I can't really find any other way to do the reboot. Any help would be appreciated.


You can secure the network that the phones have access to via a vlan
that restricts who can telnet to the phones.

Or you can move the phones to chan_sccp which lets you restart or reset
the phones from the * console.

Or you can keep using the phones with SIP and use sip_notify. I think Ciscos support it.
