Mandatory Upgrade

Expected Impact

There should not be any email delivery disruption, however administrative access to your devices during this time period may be affected. Customers are requested to validate the health of systems post their upgrade window and report to Cisco TAC if any anomalies are observed.

When

Starting the week of January 23, 2023

❗️

Customer Action
