Hello everyone! I can see the serials numbers of SFPs connected to leafs and spines, but i can´t see the serials numbers connected to APICs..

Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!!!

On the APIC, you can check the SFP serial numbers from the CIMC CLI. You can use these commands after you SSH into the CIMC CLI:

C220# scope chassis
C220 /chassis # show pci-adapter    <--- to check which slot the VIC is in
C220 /chassis # connect debug-shell <slot_number>
adapter (top):1# attach-mcp
adapter (mcp):1# dcem-port <port_number> 0    <--- port_number is 0 or 1

The output will show the transceiver PID under xcvr_type, and the serial number will be under the sfprom output (usually the 5th line down).
