[Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7940 Reboot

[Aaron Daniel]

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.
