Hi Felix,

It's not necessarily the case that you will be assigned a CCIE-certified TAC
engineer; it's my understanding that the CCIE is not that big a deal within
TAC. What happens is that you get routed directly to the appropriate "core
group" for the product/technology in question, meaning that you get to
bypass the frontline folks whose job it is to filter out the silly stuff. I
guess the theory being that CCIEs will generally have done that before
picking up the phone. It's a nice privilege and one of the more tangible
benefits of CCIE certification, IMHO. I'm still sitting at just one TAC
case since certification, so it's not one that I get to use all that often.
But it's nice to know that I can!

Regards,

Scott

Hi Julio,

Cases opened by CCIEs are usually assigned to CCIE-certified TAC engineers
from the start, which results in getting quicker solutions in my experience.

You would usually need an active support contract to open cases with TAC
anyway.
