What is "Factory ID"?

[Soon Kwan Kwon]

Hello all experts!

No matter how I search on the internet about "VS-SUP2T-10G", there was no datasheet...!

And then I found that VS-SUP2T-10G's Factory ID was VS-S2T-10G!

But I don't know the difference between them.

Could you explain the difference?

Regards,

SK.

What makes you think VS-SUP2T-10G is a valid product ID?

I could also say I searched for part KD^&F%@DS and didn't find it on the Internet - but that doesn't make it valid.

As you can see the picture, listed name on SUP.

After seeing this picture, I posted my question on this site.

Hello Soon,

I think to put it in simple terms, Factory ID would be nothing but the part ID that can be RMA'ed (shipped to you for replacement). I think this is the field that should also show up on show module or show inv command output on your router.

Hope this answers your question.

I am not sure if i understand your question correctly. The card is called SUP2T with 10G interfaces. the part id is VS-S2T-10G. 

Please let me know if you have a different question than what i answered.

Thank you^^

Hmm~

For example, cisco has a lot of switches such as WS-3750G-24TS-E.

Like this, VS-SUP2T-10G is also cisco's formal name?

I wanted to know this nuance!

Cisco's formal name is VS-S2T-10G not VS-SUP2T-10G.

You can always find an exact part id and its description on Cisco's website. 

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/switches/catalyst-6500-series-switches/relevant-interfaces-and-modules.html

Also, each hardware can have a bit different naming convention, thus it is better to search based on description and you can find the exact part id based on that.

Hope this helps
