Ans it is in CatOS as well (at least since 8.3(3))

Thats awesome. I used to submit bug reports when they released new
cards and for no explainable reason, changed the way "sh diag" output
worked (Then I'd go update our copy of rancid, since I never got
responses).

I loved it when they started putting free form information on lines,
making you specifically have to search for that type of card to detect
it.

OTOH, here is a low-end example of "sh inv" not getting it right ethier:

router2611#sh inv
NAME: "", DESCR: "2611 chassis, Hw Serial#: 1191063160, Hw Revision:
0x202"
PID: , VID: , SN:


It doesn't include the WIC serial number, or tag the chassis serial in
SN:

That was on 12.3(1a), this is what rancid finds for the same box:

!Slot 0: type C2611 2E Mainboard, 3 ports
!Slot 0: hvers 2.2 rev A0
!Slot 0: part 73-2840-12, serial JAD03381685
!
!Slot 0/0: type FT1 BT8360
!Slot 0/0: hvers 1.3 rev C0
!Slot 0/0: part 800-03279-03, serial 17175179


So maybe it'll be fixed in a later version. At least it's extra info
that might be useful to crosscheck.

Thanks,
Robert

Since extra information is gleaned from the 'show diag' would
it not be wise to maybe put the "show inv" information in a
seperate '!'ed section, ie !Inventory: NAME...
It is duplicate information, but could come in handy.

Thanks

On my box this command requires the argument 'raw' to get anything beyond
the chassis, but it also displays empty slots (not necessarily a bad thing)
and individual ports of a PA (rather verbose, except for gbics/xenpac).
But, I didnt see any of you mention "raw". It may be that the command is
still rather immature in 12.2.25S.

That's cause no one on c-nsp mentioned it. Who's got time to read docs
these days - that's what we have mailing lists for, right? :-)

Anyway, just tried "raw" on my 12.0.30S box and 12.4T box, it works as
it does in your examples.
