Catalyst Hardware Version and Hardware Revision

stuartkendrick
Level 1
Level 1

Does anyone know what these signify?

Poking through the SNMP MIB, I can see:

CISCO-STACK-MIB::moduleHwVersion.xxxx

ENTITY-MIB::entPhysicalHardwareRev.xxxx

I'm reporting on these and particularly examining the output for my flock of Cat2960X.  I have one Stack which is misbehaving in various ways, and I'm wondering if Hardware Version and Hardware Revision might offer clues.  Does one or the other of these refer to different versions of the port ASICs perhaps?  Or perhaps to an entire collection of chip revisions?

I have one Stack which is misbehaving in various ways, and I'm wondering if Hardware Version and Hardware Revision might offer clues.

Different hardware revision should not cause any misbehavior.  The only thing I have seen here in the forum is that in some cases it causes issues when you try to stack different revisions together.
