[c-nsp] problem with serial number on cisco 7200 routers/maintenance contract

[Weber, Markus]

Are you sure on this, that this is the chassis serial number C
likes to get? AFAIK, show inventory gives you only the mid plane
ID (same as of show c7200).

Probably easy to check: Wasn't it the case, that the physically
tagged chassis serial of a e.g. a 7206VXR always starts with a 7?
At least TAC claimed that last time I "falsely" reported the 
number retrieved from show inv ... and none of my boxes report
a number starting with a 7 for show inv, but some of them I know
for sure have the sticker with the 7 at the back.

You can also get it via SNMP.

.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.3.6.3.0  = Chassis ID (defaults to the serial number of
the chassis unless you've configured the 'snmp-server chassis-id <text>'
command.
