Public Export Product Data (PEPD) FAQ

One field of search criteria is required to perform a search. Leaving a field unpopulated reduces search performance. For reporting purposes, be sure to check which items in your search did not return a result.

You can use the complete Product ID, description, or partials thereof. You can also use words or phrases and complete or partial Product IDs in your search (i.e. "cab"). The system searches for products containing your criteria. Please note that using this option will produce all records that match your search (such as all "cab" products). Precise search criteria will produce precise results and be faster. Check your search criteria for spacing or spelling errors and reenter information. If the search is still empty, it is possible that the product is no longer listed. If you receive this message, please contact your Cisco Account Manager or distributor for more information.

If you know the name of the Product Family your item belongs to (i.e. "Catalyst 2960 Series") but you do not know the Product ID, you can select the Product Family to see a list of Product IDs that may apply to your item. This can help narrow your search.

What is the "Search by Product Description or Product ID" feature, and how do I use it? The "Search by Product Description or Product ID" function allows you to search for specific products by description or by Product ID and view the results. Searches are not case-sensitive, only product can be searched at a time. Correct spelling and spacing are required.

To search by Product Description and/or Product ID:

1. Scroll to the Product Description and/or Product ID field.
2. Option to use the complete description as well as a word or phrase, and complete or partial Product IDs to search (for example, "cab"). Note that using this option will produce all records that match your search (such as all "cab" products). Precise search criteria will produce better results and speed up the search.
3. You can enter both a Product Description and a Product ID.
4. After populating your search criteria, click submit and results will populate. If the search is empty, you will see: "Your query returned no data." Please check your search criteria for errors and try again. If the search still produces no results, the product may no longer listed. If you receive this message, please contact: exportclass@cisco.com.

There is no limit on the number of product families that can be entered during a search. But if the total number of products associated with product families entered returns more than 65,000 records, the system will prompt you to refine search criteria. Use the CTRL button to select multiple Product Families.

The system will allow only 500 Product IDs during a search. The number of Product IDs entered is visible as a count below the Product ID field.
