You can also use CISCO-ENTITY-ASSET-MIB and get the output of show inventory
via SNMP for example

snmptable -M /usr/share/snmp/mibs/ -m ALL -c public -v2c  1.1.1.1ceAssetTable

The problem is that cisco didn't implement this on all platforms (GSR ) and
on some (6500) it looks like they have a bug that dont return all the
information.
