Note

a web or phone request for service. You can access the CPI tool from the Cisco Technical Support 
Website by clicking the 

Tools & Resources

 link under Documentation & Tools.

 

Choose 

Cisco Product 

Identification Tool

 from the Alphabetical Index drop-down list, or click the 

Cisco Product 

Identification Tool

 link under Alerts & RMAs. The CPI 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 TAC 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 TAC 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

Definitions of Service Request Severity

To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established severity 
definitions.

Severity 1 (S1)—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. 

Severity 2 (S2)—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.

Severity 3 (S3)—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.

Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or 
configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.
