Not that I really care, but... it's Mark, not Mike, just for clarification sake :)
(Big Grin and Smirk) It's late (1:45am)... and I need to get to bed, rather than trying to catch up on the last 3 days-worth of posts. (I participate on the list the same way Priscilla does... via SMTP ;-) ) And, yes Brian, it is a seemingly necessary step in asset management... but try reminding the guy/gal that got put on the project to order such items, and then they got excited 'cuz they also got to do the programming.... and with all their excitement and focus on making sure they programmed the Router/Switch correctly, they let the simple things slip their mind before powering down and sending it out the door to the remote location.... ... this also applies to the more seasoned lads and gents that are simply under a time crunch, and also forget the simple things... much ado to that situation of the silly Router won't come up, and they swear they configured everything correctly.... little to their surprise, when they were finally able to get console access to the unit, they exclaimed " DOH! ... Helps to No Shut the Damned Interface before the Wr Mem, power-down, and shipment!"

You have to look at the outside of the router. The "show > diag" command will show serial numbers of the router motherboard and > installed cards, but not the serial number of the router itself.
