PIX 525 serial numbers as reported by the show version command have their first two characters truncated. For example, if the PIX chassis serial number is 44480521234 it will be reported by show version as 480521234. The first two characters cut off are always 44. For PIX 535 the first two characters cut off are always 88.
I have only dealt with 525 and 535 needing serial numbers. I imagine the same situation may be present on lower end PIXes as well.

I have always done a 'sh ver' to get the physical system serial number on the old PIX's. For some reason, my client is saying this is providing the incorrect serial number. Anyone heard this, or is the 'sh ver' the correct way to do this?
