  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.
