[cisco-voip] Deprecated phones in CUCM 14

[James Buchanan]

Hello,

I know the security argument is valid in some respects. But, if I have an
insecure IoT device on the network, like a temperature control system, I
don't have the option of replacing it. So, I ring fence it. I isolate it so
that it can't be exploited, etc. Maybe I'm missing something, but isn't
that what we can do to workaround the security issues?

Thanks,

James
