Find The Serial Number of IP Appliances Via CLI
Sometimes it is necessary to find the serial number of IP appliances but you either don’t have physical access to the machine or someone has removed the sticker from the side or bottom. This article lists methods to retrieve the serial via the command line interface (CLI).
1. If you are physically next to the device, look for a label on the physical box.
2. If you are remotely accessing the firewall, log into Voyager, then look for “Unit SN” under the “Basic IPSO Information” section of the homepage.
3. On the CLI (either SSH or console), run the following IPSO command:
ipso[admin]# ipsctl hw:eeprom:serial_number
hw:eeprom:serial_number = 7Hxxxxxxxx4
OR
ipso[admin]# ipsctl -a | grep serial
ipso[admin]# ipsctl -a | grep "serial"
hw:eeprom:motherboard:serial_number = 94072202114
hw:eeprom:cpci_1:serial_number = 94072301073
hw:eeprom:cpci_2:serial_number = 94072301093
hw:eeprom:power_a:serial_number = SH52618
hw:eeprom:power_b:serial_number = SH52471
hw:eeprom:wx_3:serial_number = 94072202755
hw:eeprom:viper_4:serial_number = 94072300835
hw:eeprom:wx_1_1:serial_number = 94073601141
hw:eeprom:serial_number = 7Hxxxxxxxx4
hw:motherboard:serialnumber = 0
hw:chassis:serialnumber = 7Hxxxxxxxx4
This will give you all serial numbers related to different parts – the chassis is the last in the list and it is this serial number which is most commonly used.
4. In the clish shell (enter “clish” on the command line):
