1. Introduction to CSPC This document provides information about what s new in the Common Services Platform Collector (CSPC) 2.7.4. The new features and functionality benefit existing customers as well as new users who are just starting to install a new CSPC. The CSPC software provides an extensive collection mechanism to collect various aspects of customer network information. CSPC connects to the discovered devices providing delivery of network information to network administrators and network engineers. Data collected by CSPC is used by several Cisco Advanced and Technical Service offers to provide detailed reports and analytics for both the hardware and software, such as inventory reports, product alerts, configuration best practices, network audits and so on. We recommend you update your collector version to take advantage of security updates that address the Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities, and to get new features such as security login customization and password retrieve/reset simplification.

2. What is New Use of Google Tink crypto library for encryption and for rotation of the data encryption key to provide greater safety for customer data. In the next release, further extensions will be done to allow customers to deposit the keys in Cloud based Key Management Services (AWS and Google Cloud). One Time Password (OTP) scheme is implemented to enable easy and quicker way to rest admin password. This was one of the major concern expressed by many self-service customers and partners. Without this feature, the only option if customer forgets the admin password is to reinstall the CSPC. CSPC users can now opt-out from some of the stringent security login features such as Captcha, frequent mandatory password changes and frequent logouts in case of short inactivity. This is expected to improve the customer experience as it was one of the most talked topics on the support communities. Supports CLI data collection and several icurl command collection using HTTP from NX9K Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI). View Access Verification Results report is enhanced to show the IP address details of each device in order to enable further troubleshooting in case of access verification issues. Show primary entitled CSP registration ID in the home page of CSPC along with collector name to help customers, partners and support engineers to uniquely identify the collector quickly. Addressed ~40 STIG compliancy related findings. Ability to collect show tech command from XML editor in CSPC and ability to view the collected command output in its entirety. Multi-level authorization has been put in place for Remote Management Console for accessing terminals and collector report data. This will help to tighten the access to collector reports and terminals on RMC 2018 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. This document is Cisco Public Information. Page 4 of 9
