Cisco Product Security Overview
Cisco provides a free online Security Vulnerability Policy portal at this URL:

Preface
Cisco Product Security Overview
From this site, you will find information about how to:
• 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, security notices, and security responses for Cisco products is
available at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/go/psirt
To see security advisories, security notices, and security responses as they are updated in real time, you
can subscribe to the Product Security Incident Response Team Really Simple Syndication (PSIRT RSS)
feed. Information about how to subscribe to the PSIRT RSS feed is found at 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 have identified a vulnerability
in a Cisco product, contact PSIRT:
• For Emergencies only— [email protected]
An emergency is either a condition in which a system is under active attack or a condition for which
a severe and urgent security vulnerability should be reported. All other conditions are considered
nonemergencies.
• For Nonemergencies— [email protected]
In an emergency, you can also reach PSIRT by telephone:
• 1 877 228-7302
• 1 408 525-6532
Tip We encourage you to use Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) or a compatible product (for example, GnuPG) to
encrypt any sensitive information that you send to Cisco. PSIRT can work with information that has been
encrypted with PGP versions 2.xthrough 9.x.
Never use a revoked or an expired encryption key. The correct public key to use in your correspondence
with PSIRT is the one linked in the Contact Summary section of the Security Vulnerability Policy page
at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/products_security_vulnerability_policy.html
The link on this page has the current PGP key ID in use.
If you do not have or use PGP, contact PSIRT at the aforementioned e-mail addresses or phone numbers
before sending any sensitive material to find other means of encrypting the data.

Obtaining Technical Assistance
Obtaining Technical Assistance
Cisco Technical Support provides 24-hour-a-day award-winning technical assistance. The Cisco
Technical Support & Documentation website on Cisco.com features extensive online support resources.
In addition, if you have a valid Cisco service contract, Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC)
engineers provide telephone support. If you do not have a valid Cisco service contract, contact your
reseller.
Cisco Technical Support & Documentation Website
The Cisco Technical Support & Documentation 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, at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/techsupport
Access to all tools on the Cisco Technical Support & Documentation 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
Note 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 &
Documentation 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 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 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: [phone] (Australia: 1 800 805 227)
EMEA: [phone]
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)—An existing 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 operations 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 the network is impaired, while 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.

Introducing Cisco Unified MeetingPlace SMTP
E-Mail Gateway
See the following sections in this chapter:
• About Cisco Unified MeetingPlace SMTP E-Mail Gateway, page 1-1
• How E-Mail Notification Works, page 1-1
About Cisco Unified MeetingPlace SMTP E-Mail Gateway
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace SMTP E-Mail Gateway is a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace application that
you install on a Microsoft Windows server. This application allows Cisco Unified MeetingPlace to use
your corporate Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) e-mail server to distribute e-mail notifications to
invited participants about meetings that are scheduled by using Cisco Unified MeetingPlace. Cisco
Unified MeetingPlace SMTP E-Mail Gateway distributes e-mail notifications when a meeting is
scheduled, changes are made, or the meeting is canceled.
The Cisco Unified MeetingPlace SMTP E-Mail Gateway allows you to do the following:
• Distribute e-mail notifications for scheduled, rescheduled, or canceled Cisco Unified MeetingPlace
meetings
• Distribute meeting attachments with meeting notifications
• Provide a link in the e-mail notification that users can use to join the audio, data, or video portion
of a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace meeting
• Notify the meeting scheduler that consecutive meetings have not been attended or that the term set
for scheduled meetings is about to expire
How E-Mail Notification Works
The following is an overview of how Cisco Unified MeetingPlace distributes e-mail notification to users
who are invited to attend a meeting:
1. A user schedules a meeting in Cisco Unified MeetingPlace.
2. The Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server places a notification of the schedule in a post office
box.
3. Cisco Unified MeetingPlace SMTP E-Mail Gateway then completes the following:

Chapter 1 Introducing Cisco Unified MeetingPlace SMTP E-Mail Gateway
How E-Mail Notification Works
– Gets the schedule notification from the post office.
– Verifies that the user profile of the scheduler is configured to send notifications.
– Reviews the schedule and determines which notification template to use to create the e-mail
messages that will be distributed to the invited participants.
– Verifies that the user profiles of meeting invitees are configured to receive notification.
– Uses the information in the schedule and in Cisco Unified MeetingPlace user profiles to create
an e-mail message for each invited participant.
– Passes these messages to the corporate SMTP e-mail server to distribute to the participants.
