Dear All,
I am very confused to the MDS switch serial number, I want to log the case to Vendor to retrieve the enable the port license file to resume the service. But I find the show inventory , show sprom backplane 1, no idea which serial number show be correct on the switch serial number. The show license host-id and show sprom backplane1 are the same. May I know if there is correct one for machine serial no.? Please advice

Yes, I check the machine serial number , which is the same as host-id by run show license host-id. But supervisor not to believe, it is because he logs the case with support, the machine serial number with the same serial model is difference host-id.

I feel the machine serial number location is difference, the MDS 9216A , use the show sprom backplane 1 is the same as serial number on machine. But the MDS 9124 , the correct SN show Second Serial number specific block row which same as the machine serial number. Host id and SN are the same for MDS 9216A, whereas those numbers not the same for model of MDS 9124.
