Like the others have said, you need some manual processes here. If you
like, you can use the snmp-server chassis-id <number> command and place the
"outer" label (white label used for RMAs) serial number here. Then you can
see it remotely either via CLI (show commands) or SNMP.
HTH,

Subject: Re: [nsp] Getting serial # of Cisco remotely
Cisco has a serial number on each component, unique only for that
particular component. All IOS can tell you is what's currently
written in some little eeprom on the board, it has no way of seeing
the label on the case. 8-)
So, one is the router serial number, the other is the board serial number.
