Obtaining Technical Assistance
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 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 the recommended resources, your case
will be assigned to a Cisco TAC engineer. The online TAC Case Open Tool is
located at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/tac/caseopen
For P1 or P2 cases (P1 and P2 cases are those in which 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
USA: 1 800 553-2447
Preface

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/687/Directory/DirTAC.shtml
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.

Software Features
Software Features
The WLSE has the following major features:
• Configuration—Allows you to apply configuration changes to access points.
• Fault and policy monitoring—Monitors device fault and performance
conditions, LEAP server responses, and policy misconfigurations.
• Reporting—Allows you to track device, client and security information. You
can email, print, and export reports.
• Firmware—Allows you to upgrade the firmware on access points and bridges.
• Radio management—Helps you manage your WLAN radio environment.
The WLSE operates by gathering fault, performance, and configuration
information about Cisco devices that it discovers in your network. The devices
must be properly configured for discovery. After devices are discovered, you
decide which devices to manage with the WLSE.
The WLSE has two user interfaces:
• The Command Line Interface (CLI), which you access by attaching a console
to the WLSE or using Telnet or SSH. For information on all the CLI
commands, see the User Guide for the CiscoWorks Wireless LAN Solution
Engine, Release 2.7.
