Release Notes for Cisco BBSM 5.1 Patch 1062
June 2002
These release notes describe Cisco Building Broadband Service Manager (BBSM) 5.1 Patch 1062.
CautionPatch 1062 is specific to BBSM 5.1 with Service Pack (SP) 2 installed. Do not install this patch on a BBSM 5.1 server that has been upgraded to SP3. If you install SP3 after you have installed Patch 1062 on SP2, Patch 1062 will no longer work. You must then install Patch 1063.
The purpose of this patch is to add a new switch type, "Cisco 2950T-24," to BBSM to support the Cisco 2950T-24 switch that is running IOS version 12.1(6)EA2b. The Cisco 2950T-24 type will also support the 2950-24, 2950C-24, or 2950G-24 switch that is running this IOS version.
Patch 1062 is specific to the 24-port version of the 2950 switch line only. The patch does not support the 2950-12, 2950G-48, or any switch not in the 2950 series of switches.
Note
If your 2950 series switch is running IOS version 12.0(5)WC2b or earlier, you do not need this patch. However, if you upgrade a 2950 switch from version 12.0 to 12.1 of the IOS, you need to install this patch.
Additional information about the features that specific 2950 IOS versions support is available at this Cisco website:

Technical Assistance Center
The Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) is available to all customers who need technical assistance with a Cisco product, technology, or solution. Two levels of support are available: the Cisco TAC Web Site and the Cisco TAC Escalation Center.
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 Website
You can use the Cisco TAC website 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 website, go to this URL:
All customers, partners, and resellers who have a valid Cisco service contract have complete access to the technical support resources on the Cisco TAC website. The Cisco TAC website 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 website, 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 level 2 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.
