                                  RE-ALLOCATION

On December 12, 1997, Cisco Systems, Inc. (the "Registrant") registered on a
Form S-8 Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission"), Registration Number 333-42249, 15,000,000 shares of its Common
Stock reserved for issuance under the Registrant's 1989 Employee Stock Purchase
Plan (the "U.S. Purchase Plan"). The Registrant now intends to use 3,000,000 of
such registered shares for issuance to employees of its foreign subsidiaries
under the Registrant's International Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the
"International Purchase Plan"). Registrant's U.S. Purchase Plan and
International Purchase Plan utilize the same share reserve. Accordingly,
Registrant is hereby re-allocating 3,000,000 of the previously-registered shares
under its U.S. Purchase Plan, with such re-allocation to be effective
immediately upon the filing of this Post-Effective Amendment. Registrant shall
re-register said 3,000,000 shares under the International Purchase Plan on a new
Form S-8 Registration Statement.
