   From what I can recall, normally the CCM (hard) nodes are vlanned off
from the live network and often locked by MAC - software VoIP phones
obviously being the exception. I don't have a standard test doc for it
though.

   There are skinny and sip sniffers that might be worth trying. Getting
to where you can see the traffic (given the aformentioned MAC locks) can
be problematic though.

   See http://www.voipsa.org/Resources/tools.php for some useful stuff.

Sure. you can use the backup facility on the web interface to back up
the entire config (along with the contents of the tftp) to any sftp
server. If you check with the server admins, they may be doing this
anyhow for DR purposes.
