[cisco-voip] SRST Test Plan

[Jeff Garvas]

Another option I like is to add static /32 routes for the call manager
subscribers that the phones wish to talk to and point them to null0.   This
is "cleaner" to me beacuse you don't have to apply an ACL to any of your
interfaces, you just route the CMs to make them non-existent, and I find it
easier to add/remove a static route.  Especially if you have multiple egress
paths.  Sometimes the ACL approach, if you make a typo, could lock you out
of the equipment.

Just be mindful of any redistribute-static commands or you could take a lot
of production phones out of service.  That is only funny the first time you
do it ;)
