  We have analyzed sensitive high spatial resolution archival radio continuum
data at 1.3, 2.0, 3.6 and 6.0 cm as well as the H2O maser molecular line data
obtained using the Very Large Array (VLA) in its hybrid AB configuration toward
the high-mass star-forming region IRAS 17233-3606 (G351.78-0.54). We find nine
compact radio sources associated with this region, six of them are new radio
detections. We discuss the characteristics of these sources based mostly on
their spectral indices and find that most of them appear to be optically thin
or thick ultra- and hyper-compact HII regions ionized by B ZAMS stars.
Furthermore, in a few cases the radio emission may arise from optically thick
dusty disks and/or cores, however more observations at different wavelengths
are necessity to firmly confirm their true nature. In addition, we compared our
centimeter maps with the mid-infrared images fromthe Spitzer Space Observatory
GLIMPSE survey revealing a cluster of young protostars in the region together
with multiple collimated outflows some of whom might be related with the
compact centimeter objects.
