I need to do an inventory of geographically dispersed IDS's without physically visiting each router or appliance.</P> Sun, 10 Mar 2019 09:44:32 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/read-ids-serial-numbers/m-p/501556#M95130 chri5k 2019-03-10T09:44:32Z Re: Read IDS serial numbers https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/read-ids-serial-numbers/m-p/501557#M95132 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>If you are running version 5.0, then the serial number will show in the "show version" output.</P><P>This was a change added in the version 5.0 software.</P><P></P><P>If you are running version 4.1, then for the IDS-4235, and IDS-4215 you would have to physically look at the stickers on the chassis.
