• Priority level 2 (P2)—Your production network is severely degraded, affecting significant aspects
• Priority level 1 (P1)—Yourproduction network is down,and a critical impact to businessoperations
Which Cisco TAC resource you choose is based on the priority of the problem and the conditions of
service contracts, when applicable.
Cisco TAC Web Site
The Cisco TAC WebSite allows you to resolve P3 and P4 issues yourself, saving both cost and time. The
site provides around-the-clock access to online tools, knowledge bases, and software. To access the
