Hi all,

I've just attempted to get the serial number of a Cisco from the inside of
the router and compare it to the one printed on the outside:

a "show version" gives me:
Processor Board ID 05604842, with hardware revision 00000000

or querying snmp OID:
cisco.3.6.3.0 05604842

another OID later in the MIB tree provides the following:
mib.47.1.1.1.1.2.1 "2500 chassis, Hw Serial#: 90196034, Hw Revision: N"
Lance HD64570 HD64570 Unknown

All of which completely fails to coincide with: 250054124, which is what is
written on the serial number label...

Any ideas?

Paul
