Re: [nsp] Getting serial # of Cisco remotely

Those are two completely different serial numbers. There is the board ID
and the unit serial number. There is no command to get your serial number
remotely in a 2500. You have to write down the serial before you send it
out OR adopt a habit of placing the serial number in the description field
of a null or loopback interface in the config.
