Cisco Customer Response Solutions Servicing and Troubleshooting Guide, Release 5.0(1)
Preface
Note Before you submit a request for service online or by phone, use the Cisco Product Identification Tool
to locate your product serial number. You can access this tool from the Cisco Support website
by clicking the Get Tools & Resources link, clicking the All Tools (A-Z) tab, and then choosing
Cisco Product Identification Tool from the alphabetical list. This tool offers three search options:
by product ID or model name; by tree view; or, for certain products, by copying and pasting show
command output. Search results show an illustration of your product with the serial number label
location highlighted. Locate the serial number label on your product and record the information
before placing a service call.

Submitting a Service Request
Using the online TAC Service Request Tool is the fastest way to open S3 and S4 service requests. (S3 and
S4 service requests are those in which your network is minimally impaired or for which you require
product information.) After you describe your situation, the TAC Service Request Tool provides
recommended solutions. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your service
request is assigned to a Cisco engineer. The TAC Service Request Tool is located at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/servicerequest
For S1 or S2 service requests, or if you do not have Internet access, contact the Cisco TAC by telephone.
(S1 or S2 service requests are those in which your production network is down or severely degraded.)
Cisco engineers are assigned immediately to S1 and S2 service requests to help keep your business
operations running smoothly.
To open a service request by telephone, use one of the following numbers:
Asia-Pacific: +61 2 8446 7411
Australia: 1 800 805 227
EMEA: +32 2 704 55 55
USA: 1 800 553 2447
