Submitting a Service Request
If you cannot successfully resolve an issue through the self-help tools, click the 
Open Service Request option in the Portal and fill out the online form. This will 
immediately submit the request to the Cisco SMB Technical Assistance Center 
(Cisco SMB TAC). Requests can be submitted at any time, 24 hours a day, 365 
days a year. A Cisco SMB TAC engineer will then respond to the request within 
1 business day during normal business hours.
If your issue is not resolved by using the recommended resources, your service 
request is assigned to a Cisco TAC engineer. To open a service request by 
telephone, use one of these numbers:
