Hello Al,

there is a way to do this with SNMP, check the link to the document below:

How To Collect Chassis Information (including the Chassis Serial Number) For Routers And Catalyst Switches Using SNMP

Unless the router was preconfigured with the "snmp-server chassis-id " command, you wont be able to retrieve it remote. You will have to read it off the box.

Thanks.. I'm new to cisco iso's, how do you get "snmp" turned on in routers?

thanks...

snmp-server community public ro

snmp-server community private rw

public and private are the read only as well as read write communities.

Hi,

you can find the Router serial #, chasis #, motherboard serial # by typing "show version"

[thisisshanky]

Serial number of chassis is not displayed by show version. You get the motherboard serial number.

Depending on IOS version you can try the show inventory command.
