Critical Software Support will be provided according to the following terms and conditions:
• Cisco TAC will first use commercially reasonable efforts to work with the Customer to determine the locality of impact and to find a workaround for the problem.
• If an alternative workaround is not possible during this period, then Cisco will make commercially reasonable efforts to provide a bug fix solution to remedy the problem.
• If despite commercially reasonable efforts Cisco is unable to provide a software-based solution, it may be necessary for the Customer to remove or upgrade the impacted software-based systems to correct the problem.
After this date, maintenance rebuilds and software-fix support will be provided only through rebuilds of Cisco IOS 12.2(33)SXH or 12.2(33)SXI. Refer to Cisco IOS Software Release 12.2(33)SX. for target End of Extended SW Maintenance dates. |
