Cisco Product Security Overview

Cisco provides a free online Security Vulnerability Policy portal at this URL:   http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/products_security_vulnerability_policy.html

 

From this site, you can perform these tasks:

·         Report security vulnerabilities in Cisco products.

·         Obtain assistance with security incidents that involve Cisco products.

·         Register to receive security information from Cisco.

 

A current list of security advisories and notices for Cisco products is available at this URL:  http://www.cisco.com/go/psirt

 

If you prefer to see advisories and notices as they are updated in real time, you can access a Product Security Incident Response Team Really Simple Syndication (PSIRT RSS) feed from this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/products_psirt_rss_feed.html

Reporting Security Problems in Cisco Products

Cisco is committed to delivering secure products. We test our products internally before we release them, and we strive to correct all vulnerabilities quickly. If you think that you might have identified a vulnerability in a Cisco product, contact PSIRT:

·         Emergencies  [email protected]

·         Nonemergencies  [email protected]

 

We encourage you to use Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) or a compatible product to encrypt any sensitive information that you send to Cisco. PSIRT can work from encrypted information that is compatible with PGP versions 2.x through 8.x.  Never use a revoked or an expired encryption key. The correct public key to use in your correspondence with PSIRT is the one that has the most recent creation date in this public key server list:

http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?search=psirt%40cisco.com&op=index&exact=on

Obtaining Technical Assistance

For all customers, partners, resellers, and distributors who hold valid Cisco service contracts, Cisco Technical Support provides 24-hour-a-day, award-winning technical assistance. The Cisco Technical Support Website on Cisco.com features extensive online support resources. In addition, Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) engineers provide telephone support. If you do not hold a valid Cisco service contract, contact your reseller.

 

Cisco Technical Support Website

 

The Cisco Technical Support Website provides online documents and tools for troubleshooting and resolving technical issues with Cisco products and technologies. The website is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/techsupport

 

Access to all tools on the Cisco Technical Support Website requires a Cisco.com user ID and password. If you have a valid service contract but do not have a user ID or password, you can register at this URL:  http://tools.cisco.com/RPF/register/register.do

 

Use the Cisco Product Identification (CPI) tool to locate your product serial number before submitting a web or phone request for service. You can access the CPI tool from the Cisco Technical Support Website by clicking the Tools & Resources link under Documentation & Tools. Choose Cisco Product Identification Tool from the Alphabetical Index drop-down list, or click the Cisco Product Identification Tool link under Alerts & RMAs. The CPI tool offers three search options: by product ID or model name; by tree view; or for certain products, by copying and pasting show command output. Search results show an illustration of your product with the serial number label location highlighted. Locate the serial number label on your product and record the information before placing a service call.

Submitting a Service Request

 

Using the online TAC Service Request Tool is the fastest way to open S3 and S4 service requests. (S3 and S4 service requests are those in which your network is minimally impaired or for which you require product information.) After you describe your situation, the TAC Service Request Tool provides recommended solutions. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your service request is assigned to a Cisco TAC engineer. The TAC Service Request Tool is located at this URL:  http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/servicerequest

 

For S1 or S2 service requests or if you do not have Internet access, contact the Cisco TAC by telephone. (S1 or S2 service requests are those in which your production network is down or severely degraded.) Cisco TAC engineers are assigned immediately to S1 and S2 service requests to help keep your business operations running smoothly.

 

To open a service request by telephone, use one of the following numbers:

Asia-Pacific: +61 2 8446 7411 (Australia: 1 800 805 227)

EMEA: +32 2 704 55 55

USA: 1 800 553-2447

Definitions of Service Request Severity

 

To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established severity definitions.

 

Severity 1 (S1) Your network is down, or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.

 

Severity 2 (S2) Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operation are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.

 

Severity 3 (S3) Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.

 

Severity 4 (S4) You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.

This document is to be used in conjunction with the documents listed in the Locale Installer for Cisco Unified CallManager

 

For optimal performance, be sure that you use the Cisco IP Telephony Locale Installer that is specific to the version of Cisco Unified CallManager that you use.  Be aware that all phrases may not display in the desired locale when you upgrade to a different version of Cisco Unified CallManager.  Refer to the readme file that is posted with the Cisco IP Telephony Locale Installer software on the following URL for the complete list of supported languages:  http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/voice/c_callmg/locinst/index.htm.

 

Each release of Cisco Unified CallManager may support a different number of locales. The full suite of Locale Installers that work with each applicable version of Cisco Unified CallManager can be found on http://www.cisco.com about 8-10 weeks after the English version becomes available. You can download the Locale Installers for all languages that are supported with Cisco Unified CallManager from the following location:  http://www.cisco.com/kobayashi/sw-center/telephony/callmgr/locale-installer.shtml.

 

When using locales, Cisco recommends that you wait until the locale installer that specifically supports the version of Cisco Unified CallManager that you use becomes available before you upgrade your system.  Because some incompatibilities may exist between releases, be sure to only use the locale installer that specifically supports your version of Cisco Unified CallManager.
