Cisco's clock signal component issue inside some of its most popular products lines has the company and its channel partners scrambling to fix problem for customers. The component malfunction inside Cisco's ASA firewalls, Nexus and Meraki cloud-based managed switches, and ISR routers causes the product to fail after 18 months.
