My Tech Support - UPDATE:
New Functionality Now Available

Cisco recently added three new "portlets" to My Tech Support -- Output Interpreter, Technical Support Advisor, and Did You Know -- and enhanced the Service Request portlet. My Tech Support is the personalization feature of the Cisco Technical Support & Documentation Website, and allows you to display personalized information about Cisco products, technologies, service requests, bug updates, and more.

New My Tech Support functionality available to Cisco SMARTnet and SP Base customers and to Cisco partners includes:

• Service Request portlet - In this enhanced portlet, you can now define the number of service request summaries (up to 10) that appear.



• Output Interpreter portlet - A shortcut to one of our most popular online troubleshooting tools, you can use this portlet to launch an Output Interpreter session.



• Technical Support Advisor portlet - A shortcut to the Technical Support Advisor targeted search tool.



• Did You Know portlet - Displays tips and tricks on how to use the My Tech Support portal and its features.

Note: New My Tech Support users will see the three new portlets automatically. If you are a current My Tech Support user and would like to begin using the new portlets, you will need to add them to your page manually.

Cisco Output Interpreter Tool - UPDATE:
Online Tool Now Supports MeetingPlace Outputs

The Cisco Output Interpreter is an online tool that analyzes command outputs to detect and resolve potential problems. In addition to supporting command outputs from your router, switch, PIX firewall, and Cisco IOS wireless access point, this online tool now supports the Cisco MeetingPlace conferencing solution.

Other new Output Interpreter features include:

• Alarm decoding
• Decoding for additional system error messages
• Cross-command analysis for system error messages
• Support for the "show ntp," "show ip nat," "show interface switching," and "show crypto" commands

For example, when you submit the output of a "show ip nat statistics" command, the tool will check the number of misses. If applicable, the tool will suggest checking the number of addresses allocated for the NAT pool, and that the Port Address Translation (PAT) is configured to ensure that NAT works even when all pool addresses are exhausted.

CCIE Central - UPDATE
Updates to Lab Exams

As of July 1, the CCIE Service Provider lab exam is now offered in Beijing, PRC, and online scheduling is available.

Learn more about CCIE Service Provider certification at:

www.cisco.com/en/US/learning/le3/ccie/sp/index.html

On January 1, 2006, Cisco will make significant content changes to several CCIE lab exams. Based on our ongoing review of exam content and your feedback, we will make these changes to reflect current networking practices.

These changes will include the following:

• CCIE Routing and Switching written and lab exams will no longer include the following protocols or media types: DLSW, IS-IS, ISDN, PPP over Ethernet, and ATM.



• CCIE Security lab exams will no longer test on ISDN technology, and ATM will no longer be covered as a Layer 2 transport protocol for WAN connectivity.



• CCIE Voice lab exams will no longer cover ATM as a Layer 2 transport protocol for WAN connectivity.

Please note, however, that CCIE Service Provider lab exams will continue to test ATM and IS-IS, as these protocols are still widely deployed in service provider networks.
