The world's largest maker of computer networking equipment are aiming to cut up to $1 billion from their annual costs, in accordance with plans announced in May.
They have also announced that they it will sell a Mexican subsidiary to Foxconn Technology Group.
An increase in competition has forced Cisco to re-evaluate the way they operate as they look to re-focus on core businesses.
15% of the job cuts will come at vice-president level and above, with a further 2,100 employees agreeing to an early retirement programme.
