TAC Case Etiquette Cisco CCNP ROUTE Training EIGRP Troubleshooting Dealing with Cisco TAC Understanding TAC 24x7x365 coverage for all Cisco product lines Located worldwide (primary sites): San Jose, CA Sydney, Australia Raleigh, NC Brussels, Belgium Attachment to open cases Entitlement tied to valid SMARTNet service contract Cisco CCNP ROUTE Training EIGRP Troubleshooting Dealing with Cisco TAC Severity Levels Severity 1 (S1): Your network or environment 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 (use care when designating a situation as an S1, use escalation if resolution for S2/S3 is not proceeding as you need it to) Cisco CCNP ROUTE Training EIGRP Troubleshooting Dealing with Cisco TAC Severity Levels Severity 2 (S2): Operation of an existing network or environment is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operation are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit fulltime resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation Cisco CCNP ROUTE Training EIGRP Troubleshooting Dealing with Cisco TAC Severity Levels Severity 3 (S3): Operational performance of your network or environment is impaired while most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco are willing to commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels Severity 4 (S4): You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or configuration.
