[cisco-voip] ISR 2800 support in new CUCM 8.6 (and future

[Matthew Saskin]

There's a catch-all policy whereby Cisco "approves" the use of 3rd party
memory, cables, GBIC's, etc. unless they feel the result of an issue is due
to the 3rd party components, at which point you lose support until you
start using Cisco components.

In my experience, the risk has been one that most of my enterprise
customers aren't willing to take.
