How to register Cisco products & getting Cisco login ID

[m_aurangzeb]

We have purchased a router having model Cisco 2821 from a supplier and we have asked them to provide cisco login ID so that we can access cisco resources against the purchasing of Cisco 2821 router. The supplier told , you can also register the cisco product and can get cisco login ID directly from the Cisco website.

1. Kindly guide me from where (website) I can register the Cisco 2821 product

2. Does Cisco provide any login ID to access cisco resources from website against the Purchasing of Cisco Product (router)?

3. How can we get Cisco Login ID

4. By getting Cisco ID which kind of resources we can access from Cisco against the purchasing of Cisco 2821 router.

Hi,

AFAIK, you can go to www.cisco.com and chose "Register" link (upper right corner on the main page).

Then you fill the form (including chosing your login ID and password) and get a basic access to the Cisco web pages.

You should ask your Cisco reseller to provide you with a PICA code.

Then you can update your user profile

"Register for Additional Access" section and get additional rights (download IOS, e.g.).

BR,

The Partner should actually provide you with a smartnet ID if you bought a service contractr along with the router.

With this ID you can get additional access like IOS downloads etc in CCO

I made a great mistake buying this product for my home 

Support complicate need to read a lot of web pages to understand how cisco thinking 

Register product - not able to do , after reading pages and pages 

Need licensing for simple tasking like Web filtering to protect children from porn and other websites - Also I read tones of documents 

there is no step by step way , from the router settings to register license and activate the filtering
