Determining age of a device

bhearn001

Dell has this nice web tool that allows one to determine the service start date of a Dell PC using the serial number. Does Cisco off something similar? My site has a mix of start dates (6+ year spread) and it would be helpful to know the ages of my switches. I'm not a Cisco programmer so I can't plug into a device and query it. I do have to provide general IT support, though, and that includes buying them.

 

Appreciate any insight.

Hi there,

You can use the serial number printer on the device. See my answer here:
