[nsp] Switch Fraud

[Sam Stickland]

Have checked back with the client, and it turns out what they are actually
saying is that the system serial number reported by Sh ver is different from
the system serial number on the sticker on the back of the chasis and the
sticker on the box.

Also the MAC address sticker on the chasis blatently isn't a mac address (or
if it is it's the first MAC address I've seen that's has H's and V's in
it!).
