  • Page 8: Chapter 1 Unique Device Identifier Retrieval

    Some entities, such as a chassis, will have sub-entities like slots. An Ethernet switch might be a member of a super-entity like a stack. Most Cisco entities that can be ordered leave the factory with an assigned UDI. The UDI information is printed on a label that is affixed to the physical hardware device, and it is also stored electronically on the device in order to facilitate remote retrieval.

  • Page 9: Retrieving The Unique Device Identifier

    Enter the show inventory command to retrieve and display information about all of the Cisco products installed in the networking device that are assigned a PID, VID, and SN. If a Cisco entity is not assigned a PID, that entity is not retrieved or displayed.
