Gathering chassis ID through SNMP for 837.

Hi Alex,

snmp-server chassis-id

To provide a message line identifying the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) server serial number, use the snmp-server chassis-id command in global configuration mode. To restore the default value, if any, use the no form of this command.

snmp-server chassis-id text

no snmp-server chassis-id

Syntax Description

text - Message you want to enter to identify the chassis serial number.

Defaults

On hardware platforms where the serial number can be machine read, the default is the serial number. For example, a Cisco 7000 router has a default chassis-id value of its serial number.

Command Modes Global configuration

Command History Release Modification

10.0 - This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

The Cisco MIB provides a chassis MIB variable that enables the SNMP manager to gather data on system card descriptions, chassis type, chassis hardware version, chassis ID string, software version of ROM monitor, software version of system image in ROM, bytes of processor RAM installed, bytes of NVRAM installed, bytes of NVRAM in use, current configuration register setting, and the value of the configuration register at the next reload. The following installed card information is provided: type of card, serial number, hardware version, software version, and chassis slot number.

The chassis ID message can be seen with the show snmp command.

Examples

In the following example, the chassis serial number specified is

1234456:

Router(config)# snmp-server chassis-id 1234456

Related Commands Command Description show snmp - Checks the status of SNMP communications.

Hi BradReese,

I only wanted to know whether the MIB I knew was correct or know. I searched for MIB about chassid-ID but on Cisco's site I couldn't download *.my file about chassis-ID. and moreover I got this message from NetSNMP when I tried to gather information on that MIB

C:\\>snmpget -c campagnolo -v 1 10.132.130.254 .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.3.6.3 Error in packet Reason: (noSuchName) There is no such variable name in this MIB. Failed object: SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9.3.6.3

Alex

This is a simple object, so you should attach a .0 to it (or use snmpwalk):

$ snmpwalk c4500 .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.3.6.3 SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9.3.6.3.0 = STRING: "FOX0637S0BU"

Great! My start on SNMP's field is better now ;) Thanks, Alex.
