ASA Unique Identifier

mattipler — Fri, 24 Jun 2022 12:50:07 GMT

Hi guys,

This might sound like a silly question but I have my reasons. :c)

Is there any unique identifier that can be polled through SNMP to identify one firewall to the next (both physical and virtual context) other than MAC address? Hostname springs to mind obviously unless someone has given two firewalls the same hostname within their estate.

Thanks to anyone that takes the time to read this post.

Serial number / hostname are unique - not sure what is the use case here, explain more.

Thank you guys. Really, you don't want to hear the use-case. 10 minutes of your life you'll never get back. Really appreciate the help.
