Cisco IOS® Software Release 12.3(8)T - NEW:
Cisco Delivers Network Intelligence
Cisco IOS Software Release 12.3(8)T, the fourth release in the 12.3T family, is now available. This release delivers network intelligence with integrated features that secure branch-office communications, automate the deployment of new applications, and optimize the flow of outbound traffic.
Release 12.3(8)T is designed to help Cisco customers maximize the value of the network by supporting the integration of new technologies, hardware, and services into the existing infrastructure.
Key features of Release 12.3(8)T include:
- Dynamic Multipoint VPN (DMVPN) Spoke-to-Spoke Functionality -- Enables the secure exchange of data between two branch offices without traversing the head office. This reduces latency and jitter, while optimizing head-office bandwidth utilization.
- Cisco AutoQoS: AutoDiscovery Trust Option -- Extends the power of Cisco AutoQoS for the Enterprise to routers on which Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) values have already been assigned to traffic at the network edge. This enables you to automatically set the Quality of Service (QoS) policy on routers by allowing the network to trust internally established priority levels for various types of traffic.
- Cisco IOS Optimized Edge Routing (OER) -- Automates routing performance to minimize bandwidth costs and engineering operating expenses. Cisco IOS OER leverages Cisco IOS NetFlow and Cisco IOS Service Assurance Agent to choose the optimal outbound route based on cost minimization, load distribution policy, and overall network performance.

Cisco Technical Support Seminars - UPDATE:
Training Opportunity for Asia-Pacific Region
The Cisco Technical Support Seminars team has expanded international offerings for the Asia-Pacific region. On June 17, the
"Using the Cisco Technical Support Website for Online Support" seminar is being offered during AWST/ACST/AEST business hours.
This free training seminar introduces you to a variety of troubleshooting and other technical support resources available on the Cisco Technical Support Website. When you participate in this online seminar, not only will you learn how to enhance your networking skills, but you can also discuss network issues with a Cisco expert and industry peers in a live chat session.
In about one hour, you will learn how to:
- Navigate through the new Cisco Technical Support Website design that recently combined the Hardware and Software Support areas into one Product Support area, and features newly combined and reorganized product categories
- Use time-saving online support tools such as the Cisco TAC Case Collection, Cisco Output Interpreter, Cisco Software Advisor, and Cisco Software Bug Toolkit
- Use the Cisco TAC Service Request Tool -- which has replaced the Cisco TAC Case Open and Cisco TAC Case Query tools -- for managing your TAC service requests online
Note: You can avoid international telephone charges by using the audio-via-Web option.
Regardless of your time zone, there are also five free technology-specific seminars available as on-demand seminars, focusing on Website support for routers, IP routing, LANs, network security and VPNs, and voice. All seminars are also available as Microsoft PowerPoint presentations.
You can tell your friends and co-workers about these valuable training resources by clicking the "Tell a Friend" button when viewing a seminar.
