[cisco-voip] CTL/Security Token question

[Wes Sisk]

We do this in our labs.  Just be careful to keep track of password 
changes.  Using the tokens requires a password.  Guess the wrong 
password too many times and they do self destruct.  This would 
effectively lock you out of all clusters that use that key.

Regards,
Wes
