Preface

Obtaining Technical Assistance

Cisco TAC inquiries are categorized according to the urgency of the issue:

•Priority level 4 (P4)—You need information or assistance concerning Cisco product capabilities, product installation, or basic product configuration.

•Priority level 3 (P3)—Your network performance is degraded. Network functionality is noticeably impaired, but most business operations continue.

•Priority level 2 (P2)—Your production network is severely degraded, affecting significant aspects of business operations. No workaround is available.

•Priority level 1 (P1)—Your production network is down, and a critical impact to business operations will occur if service is not restored quickly. No workaround is available.

The Cisco TAC resource that you choose is based on the priority of the problem and the conditions of service contracts, when applicable.

Cisco TAC Web Site

You can use the Cisco TAC Web Site to resolve P3 and P4 issues yourself, saving both cost and time. The site provides around-the-clock access to online tools, knowledge bases, and software. To access the Cisco TAC Web Site, go to this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/tac

All customers, partners, and resellers who have a valid Cisco service contract have complete access to the technical support resources on the Cisco TAC Web Site. The Cisco TAC Web Site requires a Cisco.com login ID and password. If you have a valid service contract but do not have a login ID or password, go to this URL to register:

http://www.cisco.com/register/

If you are a Cisco.com registered user, and you cannot resolve your technical issues by using the Cisco TAC Web Site, you can open a case online by using the TAC Case Open tool at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/tac/caseopen

If you have Internet access, we recommend that you open P3 and P4 cases through the Cisco TAC WebSite.

Cisco TAC Escalation Center

The Cisco TAC Escalation Center addresses priority level 1 or priority level2 issues. These classifications are assigned when severe network degradation significantly impacts business operations. When you contact the TAC Escalation Center with a P1 or P2 problem, a Cisco TAC engineer automatically opens a case.

To obtain a directory of toll-free Cisco TAC telephone numbers for your country, go to this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/687/Directory/DirTAC.shtml

Before calling, please check with your network operations center to determine the level of Cisco support services to which your company is entitled: for example, SMARTnet, SMARTnet Onsite, or Network Supported Accounts (NSA). When you call the center, please have available your service agreement number and your product serial number.

Version 1.1 specifications

Cisco Systems Version 1.1 introduced significant advancements in network technology, setting a new standard for performance, security, and management in the ever-evolving landscape of enterprise networking. This version is characterized by a robust architecture that supports a wide array of devices and applications, ensuring seamless connectivity and efficiency for businesses of all sizes.

One of the standout features of Cisco Systems Version 1.1 is its enhanced routing capabilities. The introduction of advanced routing protocols enables more efficient data handling and traffic management. This improvement translates into reduced latency and optimized bandwidth utilization, which are crucial for organizations relying on real-time applications like VoIP and video conferencing.

Another notable technology integrated into Version 1.1 is the expanded support for Software-Defined Networking (SDN). This allows network administrators to manage their network resources more flexibly and dynamically, adapting quickly to changing demands. With SDN, Cisco provides a centralized control plane that enables automated provisioning and orchestration of network services, ultimately leading to reduced operational costs and improved service quality.

Security improvements are also a hallmark of Cisco Systems Version 1.1. The incorporation of advanced intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPS) enhances the overall security posture of networks. Additionally, built-in encryption protocols ensure that data is transmitted securely, safeguarding sensitive information from potential cyber threats.

Furthermore, Version 1.1 emphasizes user experience with its intuitive management interface. Network monitoring and troubleshooting tools have been redesigned to be more user-friendly, allowing IT teams to quickly identify and resolve issues, thereby minimizing downtime and improving overall network reliability.

Scalability is another critical characteristic of this version, designed to accommodate the growth of companies. Whether an organization is expanding its physical infrastructure or transitioning to cloud-based services, Cisco Systems Version 1.1 provides the flexibility necessary to scale operations without sacrificing performance.

In summary, Cisco Systems Version 1.1 is a comprehensive networking solution that integrates advanced routing capabilities, SDN support, enhanced security features, and a user-friendly management interface. Its scalability ensures that it can meet the growing demands of modern enterprises, making it a pivotal choice for businesses looking to optimize their networking infrastructure.
