We track network switch inventory by creating an inventory number and associating it to a switch serial number. A sticker is then generated with that inventory number on it and is stuck to the side of the switch. I am trying to devise a way to configure a switch (SNMP location is what I thought I could use) to have the inventory number electronically imprinted on the switch. I could then query the switch and verify the serial number and inventory number match during our inventory audits instead of physically tracking down switches. Only problem is most of our Catalyst 9300 closet switches are in a stack configuration. My question is, is there a way to configure an individual switch in a switch stack with our inventory number, example; switch 3 in a stack, serial number FCO123RU890, inventory number 123456? Then poll the switch stack to get the serial number and it's inventory number associated with it? I figured SNMP would be the easiest way to do it, but didn't know if there were SNMP variables per switch. If someone with more SNMP expertise than I have could let me know it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!!!
