technical assistance. If you do not hold a valid Cisco service contract, please contact your reseller.

Opening a TAC Case

Using the online TAC Case Open Tool is the fastest way to open P3 and P4 cases. (P3 and P4 cases are
those in which your network is minimally impaired or for which you require pr oduct information.) After
you describe your situation, the TAC Case Open Tool automatically recommends resources for an
immediate solution. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your case will be
assigned to a Cisco TAC engineer. The online TAC Case Open Tool is located at this URL:

degraded) or if you do not have Internet access, contact Cisco TAC by telephone. Cisco TAC engineers
are assigned immediately to P1 and P2 cases to help keep your business operations running smoothly.
