GEORGE- This has been asked at least 6 times in the past 12 months. You should check the archives, if they are available.
The short and quick answer is, on most low end and midrange routers- NO. On a few of the high-end routers (i.e., GSR's, 7200 VXRs, etc.), the answer is YES (according to other list members). If you issue the Show Diag or Show Diag cbus command, you can retrieve Serial Number information of the System Board, and any Line Cards such as NM's (Net Modules) and WIC's/VIC's, PA's, etc. ... But these Serial Numbers are NOT the same as the Serial Number on the Chassis of the Router, which is needed for Tech Support calls with Cisco TAC, as well as registering SMART-NET contracts. Also, I might add, the suggestion to solve this little issue is to put in the description of a Loopback interface the Serial Information from the chassis. That way, if you need that information which was not documented before deployment of the node to a remote location, you could retrieve it by terminal session and viewing the config. Like I said, check the archives for a definitive answer on the few platforms mentioned, or open a Level 4 Case with Cisco TAC to get the answer direct from the horses mouth. Now, I must say, I think I'm the first person to mention the Level 4 Case alternative on this list... :) Guess those Support studies paid off; Cisco would be proud :) -Mark Odette II CCNP, MCSE 2K/4.0, blah, blah, blah. -----Original Message----- From: GEORGE [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, July 18, 2002 1:10 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: cisco command [7:49152] Is their a cisco command that will show you the serial number of the router Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=49166&t=49152 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
