'How do I find a Cisco serial number remotely through the command line?' This is one of those frequently asked questions that I see over and over. So, here's the quick and dirty answer: You can find Cisco serial numbers from the IOS command line by using the show inventory command. This is good news for all the folks out there that have needed to collect this information remotely for service contracts, TAC cases, etc.

At some point, it's a good idea to conduct a router inventory to determine which routers you have as well as their models, RAM, Flash, IOS versions, and serial numbers. I mention the serial number specifically because you need it to both track your routers and to register for a Cisco SMARTnet service contract. How do you collect these numbers without physically going to each and every router in your organization? Here's how to determine those serial numbers remotely.

Issues to consider One challenge with determining the serial number of your router is that there are so many different serial numbers — the processor board ID, serial numbers on every interface card, the chassis serial number, and many others. In some cases, you may even find that none of the serial numbers that you find by connecting to the router actually match the serial number on the sticker on the outside of the router. In addition, the results that you get will vary from router platform to router platform.

On newer routers such as the Cisco 2800 Series and 3800 Series, the serial number on the outside of the router, the processor ID, and the hardware chassis serial number are all the same. Even better, you can access this unique number via Telnet, SSH, or SNMP. On the other hand, older routers make things more confusing. For example, if you have a Cisco 2500 Series router, you can't find the number on the sticker on the outside of the router by connecting to the device over the network.

In fact, I opened up a Cisco TAC case, and they told me this was 'by design.' One workaround to this issue is to manually enter the physical serial number from the outside of the router into the configuration of the router.

That way, you can access it via SNMP. You can manually set the chassis serial number using the following command: snmp-server chassis-id.
