Time since r8-c6500 switched to active is 6 weeks, 3 days, 20 hours, 31 minutes R8-c6500 uptime is 6 weeks, 3 days, 20 hours, 32 minutes ROM: System Bootstrap, Version 12.2(17r)S4, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)īOOTLDR: s72033_rp Software (s72033_rp-JK9SV-M), Version 12.2(18)SXD6, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1) You can see below an excerpt of the show versioncommand on C6500 platform:Ĭisco Internetwork Operating System Software This is also used as the device serial number in any service contract that you might have. Coming back to our topic from this post, show version ouput the Processor board ID which should be the same serial number like the one printed on a sticker on the back of the Cisco device. The most common use of this command is to determine which version of the Cisco IOS a device is running, but this command also offers different usesful information like the IOS version, ROM bootstrap, uptime, RAM quantity, FLASH capacity and many more. Show version – Any network administrators who work with Cisco devices are more than likely familiar with the show versioncommand. Also the real serial numbers will be stripped out and replace with a fake one, as I don’t want this to be used by third parties. I will use for my example a C6500 series switch, because this support most of the commands that I know. I decided to put in this post some useful commands to identify the Cisco hardware components and their respective identifiers (serial nnumber) on different platforms. Now most of you I believe know the commands “show version” or “show hardware” which will get all the information that you need most of the time, but not always. Some days ago I had to check for the serial number of a faulty fan tray that need to be exchanged in C6500 series.
