Finding router serial number.

[corey.mckinney]

Is there any way that I can get the serial number via CLI or SDM? I know that when you do a 'show version' you get the motherboard serial number, but I'm wondering if you can get the box serial number.

Hello,

unless the serial number has been somehow entered into the configuration (e.g. with the 'snmp-server chassis-id' command), there is TMBK no way to retrieve the number other than to read it off the box...

Regards,

Hi,

On newer routers, the command "sh diag" displays the router Serial Number..

NOTE:- I am bit confused whether the command is sh diag or sh module, but I am 100% sure the command produces the desired result.

Hey,

I had been looking around as well and was only able to find link for Catalysts.

Also, if you are running a 720x, from the CLI you can issue show c7200 but I believe that may only show the NPE S/N.

Here are SNMP OID’s in order to retrieve serial numbers for Aironet access points.

Walk ENTITY-MIB::entPhysicalSerialNum (1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.11),

there are several entries: chassis, radio, ...

Part of entPhysicalTable for AP1242AG

ENTITY-MIB::entPhysicalDescr.1 = "Cisco Aironet 1240 Series (IEEE 802.11a/g) Access Point"

ENTITY-MIB::entPhysicalDescr.2 = "802.11G Radio"

ENTITY-MIB::entPhysicalDescr.3 = "802.11A Radio"

ENTITY-MIB::entPhysicalDescr.4 = "PowerPCElvis Ethernet"

ENTITY-MIB::entPhysicalSerialNum.1 = "FCZXXXXXXXX"

ENTITY-MIB::entPhysicalSerialNum.2 = "GAMXXXXXXXX"

ENTITY-MIB::entPhysicalSerialNum.3 = "ALPXXXXXXXX"

ENTITY-MIB::entPhysicalSerialNum.4 = ""

ENTITY-MIB::entPhysicalModelName.1 = "AIR-AP1242AG-E-K9 "

ENTITY-MIB::entPhysicalModelName.2 = "Radio AIR-AP1242GR:5M80.13"

ENTITY-MIB::entPhysicalModelName.3 = "Radio AIR-AP1242A:5M80.13"

ENTITY-MIB::entPhysicalModelName.4 = ""

OIDs numerically (entPhysicalSerialNum only)

1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.11.1 = "FCZXXXXXXXX"

1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.11.2 = "GAMXXXXXXXX"

1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.11.3 = "ALPXXXXXXXX"

1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.11.4 = ""
