Wouldn't the output of "show inventory | incl PID" be more handy for
processing?

E.g.

sw001#show inventory | i PID
PID: WS-C6509-NEB-A    , VID:    , SN: FOX0721xxxx
PID: WS-C6K-VTT        , VID:    , SN: NWG0720xxxx
PID: WS-C6K-VTT        , VID:    , SN: NWG0718xxxx
PID: WS-C6K-VTT        , VID:    , SN: NWG0720xxxx
 ....
PID: WS-CAC-4000W-INT  , VID:    , SN: SON0511xxxx
PID: WS-CAC-4000W-INT  , VID:    , SN: SON0736xxxx


Piping this to "awk '{print $2, $7}'" would do what you need. Using
rancid (http://www.shrubbery.net/rancid/) you simply would say:


clogin -c"show inventory | i PID" sw001 | awk '/^PID:/ {print $2, $7}'
