Best way to test resiliency?

[deydist]

Newbie question..  How would you go about safely testing resiliency after hours? Do you guys just do a simple reboot on the main 3300 and see how things fail over? Or maybe I need to run something that brings it down for a longer period of time to properly test... what other options are there if you have to do it fully remotely? I don't want to shut it off and not be able to bring it back up remotely!

Just unplug the network cable from the 3300 controller... If you are remote, log into the switch and take down the port to the 3300 controller. Log into the secondary controller, you can see the phones status in the phone list in maintenance.

Problem is.. I don't have access to the switch either. Though I guess I may just need to get the network engineer involved in this testing
