Introduction to Bootable_UCSInstall_UCOS_7.1.3.10000-11.sgn.iso
This bootable ISO provides the complete installation package for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) version 7.1(3)SU11, specifically designed for VMware ESXi 6.5+ and KVM hypervisor deployments. The “sgn” extension confirms cryptographic signing through Cisco’s Secure Boot mechanism, ensuring authenticity per NIST FIPS 140-2 validation standards. As a restricted export version (UNRST classification), it supports limited encryption capabilities compliant with US export regulations.
