Cisco: Faulty clock part could cause failure in some Nexus switches, ISR routers, ASA security appliances

The notice includes some of the company’s most widely deployed products, from certain models of its Series 4000 Integrated Services Routers, Nexus 9000 Series switches, ASA security devices to Meraki Cloud Managed Switches.
