CCIE Central - UPDATE:
Online Initiation of Severity 2 Cases Now Available for CCIEs

Earlier this month, the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) began piloting a new capability for CCIEs at companies with valid support contracts. Now, CCIEs can submit Severity 2 (S2) cases using the online TAC Service Request Tool (TSRT) as an alternative to the telephone. In recent advisory group sessions, users have said they believe online initiation can speed resolution by allowing for documentation of troubleshooting steps already attempted and the attachment of relevant documents and diagrams.

Active CCIEs will be authenticated against the CCIE database during login and automatically presented with the S2 option in the TSRT. S2 requests submitted by CCIEs will be routed directly to the appropriate core technology team and a TAC engineer will return the call quickly.

In accordance, CCIEs must:

• Agree to be available to take the call
• Adhere to the posted criteria for severity selection
• Not share their ID number with any non-CCIE in their organization

The Cisco TAC will monitor usage during the pilot, and inappropriate use of the S2 option may impact the continued offering of this capability.

The creation of S2 requests online does not replace telephone initiation, but instead offers another option which can be utilized by CCIEs. At first release, the new capability will be available in all worldwide regions except Japan and escalation of existing service requests to S2 will still need to be processed by telephone.

For questions or comments on this new capability for CCIEs, please send an e-mail to tsrts2comments@cisco.com.
