Opening a TAC Case
The online TAC Case Open Tool (
) is the
fastest way to open P3 and P4 cases. (Your network is minimally impaired or you
require product 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 these recommendations, your case will be
assigned to a Cisco TAC engineer.
For P1 or P2 cases (your production network is down or severely 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.
To open a case 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

TAC Case Priority Definitions
To ensure that all cases are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established
case priority definitions.
Priority 1 (P1)—Your network is “down” or there is a critical impact to your
business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around
the clock to resolve the situation.
Priority 2 (P2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or
significant aspects of your business operation are negatively affected by
inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time
resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.
Priority 3 (P3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most
business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources
during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.
