Command To Get Serial Number

admin

Whenever I use the command line below

Serial

wmic bios get serialnumber

It outputs the BIOS Serial number with my laptop.

However, I've tried that command line to get BIOS serial number with my company's PC, I didn't work a bit.

Here was the output:

So how can I get the BIOS Serial with that problem...

The wmic bios get serialnumber command call the Win32_BIOS wmi class and get the value of the Serial Number property, which retrieves the serial number of the BIOS Chip of your computer. By using this command to get serial number you can save your time as it is very simple method.

You do not. You already provided your own answer, however the hardware you have has no serial number. People either did not set one at manufacture, or they forgot about it.

This is sadly quite common.

Introduction

This document shows how to determine the serial numbers of various replaceable components on various Cisco Catalyst switches. The serial numbers are necessary to create a database of the parts in the network. When you create a service request with Cisco Technical Support, you must have the serial number of the affected devices at hand. This requirement is especially the case when you need a replacement part, or return materials authorization (RMA).

Note: The serial number of Cisco Catalyst switches cannot be modified. For management purposes, you can configure the Cisco Catalyst switches that run Cisco IOS® software to return a custom string. In order to create a custom string, issue the snmp-server chassis-id command in global configuration mode.

Requirements

There are no specific requirements for this document.

Components Used

The information in this document is based on these software and hardware versions:

  • Various Catalyst switches

  • Various software versions

The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command.

Difference Between CatOS and Cisco IOS System Software

Catalyst OS (CatOS) on the Supervisor Engine and Cisco IOS® Software on the MSFC (Hybrid): You can use a CatOS image as the system software to run the Supervisor Engine on Catalyst 6500/6000 switches. If you have installed the optional Multilayer Switch Feature Card (MSFC), use a separate Cisco IOS Software image to run the MSFC.

Cisco IOS Software on both the Supervisor Engine and MSFC (Native): You can use a single Cisco IOS Software image as the system software to run both the Supervisor Engine and MSFC on Catalyst 6500/6000 switches.

Note: For more information, refer to Comparison of the Cisco Catalyst and Cisco IOS Operating Systems for the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switch.

Catalyst 6500/6000

Catalyst 6500/6000 switches can run CatOS system software on the Supervisor Engine and Cisco IOS Software on the MSFC. Or, the switches can run Cisco IOS System Software, with a software bundle for both the Supervisor Engine and MSFC.

CatOS

Use the show version command to determine the serial number of various hardware components, as this example shows:

Note: If the power supply serial number is not visible in the show version command output, issue the show sprom powersupply {1 | 2} command.

In order to find the serial number of port adapters that plug into the Flex WAN module, issue the show diagbus command from the MSFC command-line interface (CLI), as this example shows:

Cisco IOS System Software

In order to determine the serial number for the chassis and other components, issue the show idprom command, as this example shows:

In order to obtain the chassis serial number, issue the show idprom backplane command, as this example shows:

In order to obtain the module serial number, issue the show idprom module slot # command. Alternatively, you can issue the show module command, as this example shows:

Note: Use the show diagbus command to determine the serial number of port adapters on the Flex WAN module.

Catalyst 5500/5000

Use the show version command to determine the serial number of various hardware components, as this example shows:

Note: Use the show diag command on the Route Switch Module (RSM) with Versatile Interface Processor (VIP) (WS-X5304=) to find the serial number of port adapters.

Catalyst 4500/4000

Catalyst 4000 Supervisor Engine I, 4003/2948G/2980G

The Catalyst 4000 with Supervisor Engine I chassis serial number on the Catalyst 4003, 2948G, and 2980G is not readable through a CLI command. The serial number that appears in the show version command output in the example in this section is the serial number of the Supervisor Engine. The actual serial number appears on a sticker on the outside of the chassis. In order to locate the physical serial number labels on your device, refer to the Cisco Product Identification Tool (registered customers only) .

Catalyst 4500/4000 with Supervisor Engine 2

On the Catalyst 4500/4000 Supervisor 2, the chassis serial number is available via CLI in versions 5.5(10), 6.3(2), and later versions. In earlier versions, the show version command shows the Supervisor Engine serial number in the place of the chassis serial number. In order to obtain the serial number of the chassis in these earlier versions, check the external sticker on the chassis. In order to locate the physical serial number labels on your device, refer to the Cisco Product Identification Tool (registered customers only) .

Catalyst 4500/4000 Supervisor Engine II+/III/IV

You can determine the serial number of the chassis and other components with use of the show idprom command, as this example shows:

You can obtain the chassis serial number with the show idprom chassis command, as this example shows:

You can obtain the power supply serial number with the show idprom power-supply {1 | 2} command, as this example shows:

You can obtain the module serial number with the show idprom module slot # command. Alternatively, you can issue the show module command, as this example shows:

Catalyst 3750

Use the show version command to determine the chassis serial number and switch model type, as the example here shows. You find all switch stack members, chassis, and serial number information in the output:

Catalyst 3560

Use the show version command to determine the chassis serial number and switch model type, as this example shows:

Catalyst 3550

Use the show version command to determine the chassis serial number and switch model type, as this example shows:

Catalyst 2950/2970/2940

Use the show version command to determine the chassis serial number and switch model type, as this example shows:

Catalyst 2900XL/3500XL

Use the show version command to determine the chassis serial number and switch model type, as this example shows:

Catalyst 2948GL3/4908G-L3/4980G-L3

Use the show hardware command to determine the chassis serial number, as this example shows:

Catalyst 8510/8540

Use the show hardware command to determine the chassis serial number. Look for the Backplane serial number, as in this example:
