(the &#147;U.S. Purchase Plan&#148;) on a Form&nbsp;S-8 Registration Statement,
Registration No.&nbsp;333-42249 filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Registrant now intends to use 15,000,000 of such
previously-registered shares for issuance to employees of its foreign
subsidiaries under the International Purchase Plan. The U.S. Purchase
Plan and International Purchase Plan make use of the same share reserve.
Since 15,000,000 previously-registered shares are merely being
re-allocated to a different plan, no additional filing fee is required
with respect to those shares, pursuant to General Instruction E.</FONT></TD>

<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1)&nbsp;to file, during any
period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to
this Registration Statement: (i)&nbsp;to include any prospectus required by Section
10(a)(3) of the 1933 Act, (ii)&nbsp;to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most
recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this
Registration Statement and (iii)&nbsp;to include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this
Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this
Registration Statement; provided, however, that clauses (1)(i) and (1)(ii)
shall not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those clauses is contained in periodic reports filed by the
Registrant pursuant to Section&nbsp;13 or Section&nbsp;15(d) of the 1934 Act that are
incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement; (2)&nbsp;that for the
purpose of determining any liability under the 1933 Act each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and
(3)&nbsp;to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of
the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
Cisco Systems, Inc. International Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B.&nbsp;The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each filing of the Registrant&#146;s
annual report pursuant to Section&nbsp;13(a) or Section&nbsp;15(d) of the 1934 Act that
is incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C.&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933 Act
may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the indemnification provisions summarized in Item&nbsp;6 or
otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the
Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
1933 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the 1933
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

other similar transaction effected without the Registrant's receipt of
consideration which results in an increase in the number of the
outstanding shares of Registrant's Common Stock.
(2)
On December 15, 1997, the Registrant registered and paid the applicable
registration fees for 135,000,000 shares (15,000,000 shares prior to
adjustment for the following forward splits of the Common Stock: (i) the
3-for-2 split effected on December 16, 1997, (ii) the 3-for-2 split
effected on September 15, 1998, (iii) the 2-for-1 split effected on June
21, 1999, and (iv) the 2-for-1 split effected on March 22, 2000) of its
Common Stock reserved for issuance under its Employee Stock Purchase Plan
(the "U.S. Purchase Plan") on a Form S-8 Registration Statement,
Registration No. 333-42249 filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Registrant now intends to use 15,000,000 of such
previously-registered shares for issuance to employees of its foreign
subsidiaries under the International Purchase Plan. The U.S. Purchase
Plan and International Purchase Plan make use of the same share reserve.
Since 15,000,000 previously-registered shares are merely being
re-allocated to a different plan, no additional filing fee is required
with respect to those shares, pursuant to General Instruction E.

Incorporation, as amended, and Amended and Restated Bylaws provide for

Item 9. Undertakings
A. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) to file, during any
period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to
this Registration Statement: (i) to include any prospectus required by Section
10(a)(3) of the 1933 Act, (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most
recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this
Registration Statement and (iii) to include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this
Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this
Registration Statement; provided, however, that clauses (1)(i) and (1)(ii)
shall not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those clauses is contained in periodic reports filed by the
Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that are
incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement; (2) that for the
purpose of determining any liability under the 1933 Act each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and
(3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of
the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
Cisco Systems, Inc. International Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

B. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each filing of the Registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that
is incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.
C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933 Act
may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the indemnification provisions summarized in Item 6 or
otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the
Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
1933 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the 1933
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
