[cisco-voip] 8831 registration problems with 9.1.1a

Some updates on this....

This is combination of having port-security and spanning-tree guard root
enabled on the port it looks like. I did find a switch IOS bug the other
day where both could cause a problem. I can get the phone back up and
registered again if I tinker with the switchport settings (shutdown port,
remove port-security, remove guard root, throw port into another vlan then
back into voice vlan, leave port shutdown for 2-3 minutes then bring it
back up). The command variation slightly varies and sometimes need to do it
1-2 times.

I'm trying to get them to move this 8831 to another switch with newer IOS
until we get window to update the IOS on one it is on, plus if it's moved
to other switch and this doesn't happen when it is unplugged or port
shutdown I can point toward the switch IOS more.
