I was hoping to find a table on the Cisco site where you input your device
and it tells you
what SmartNet costs.

There -is- such a feature, but it gives undiscounted prices.
http://www.cisco.com/scc
and scroll down to the bottom of the page, and click on
"Login to SCC". When prompted, log in with your regular support
contract username and password. Then, on the tab across the top,
click on "PRICING & AVAILABILITY".

On the page that appears, select the service level (e.g., 24x7x4),
and the country. If you are selecting anything other than NBD
(Next Business Day) then if you are in Canada or USA, be sure
to enter your location details, or else the tool will complain.

Below the location details, put in the product code and the date range.

There is a lookup tool if you do not know the magic product code.
Unfortunately the lookup tool can be somewhat dense at times; you might
have to phrase your search in a number of different ways for it to find
your product.


Cisco *does* sell contracts for arbitrary periods -- you could buy
217 days of support from them if you had reason to. Random quotes you get
from the online stores will almost always be for 1 year, sometimes 3
years; a Silver partner should be able to get an arbitrary-period
quote for you, but in my experience it takes a Gold partner to generate
such a quote directly.

If I understand correctly, if you are a Gold or Silver partner, or a
big company that buys from Cisco directly, then the prices quoted by
the SCC tool will reflect your Cisco discounts. The prices will seldom,
however, reflect any government or academic discounts you might be
entitled to, and you can often get *much* better pricing by going to a
Gold or Silver partner. All authorized Cisco VARs get some level of
discount, but they vary in how much of that discount they will pass on
to you. The occasional VAR will slap their regular markup on top of the
-undiscounted- price, resulting in a quote that is more expensive than
if you bought from Cisco directly with no discount!
