Unique Device Identifier Retrieval
• Automates Cisco product inventory (capital and asset management).
• Provides a mechanism to determine the entitlement level of a Cisco product for repair and replacement
Product Item Descriptor for Cable Products
For information on the Product Item Descriptor (PID), see the product hardware installation guide available
on Cisco.com.
Retrieving the Unique Device Identifier
To use UDI retrieval, the Cisco product in use must be UDI-enabled. A UDI-enabled Cisco product supports
five required Entity MIB objects. The five Entity MIB v2 (RFC-2737) objects are:
• entPhysicalName
• entPhysicalDescr
• entPhysicalModelName
• entPhysicalHardwareRev
• entPhysicalSerialNum
Although the show inventory command may be available, using that command on devices that are not
UDI-enabled will likely produce no output.
Enter the show inventory command to retrieve and display information about all of the Cisco products installed
in the networking device that are assigned a PID, VID, and SN. If a Cisco entity is not assigned a PID, that
entity is not retrieved or displayed.
