Obtain and Install Software Patches 
Introduction 
The procedures in this section offer guidance in obtaining, extracting, and installing 
the software patches described in this document. The patches are contained on a CD 
or in a compressed file on the Cisco FTP server. To obtain the CD, contact your 
North American marketing manager. When you uncompress the file, later in this 
section, the system creates a directory that contains the executable file for the patch 
along with a README file that contains installation instructions.
