Hi Arthur -

That helped, but I am also looking to get the serial numbers off of the GBICs that are in a GBIC module I have in one of the slots. Any thoughts?

Bill

Hi Friend,

It depends on the IOS which you are running on your Cat6k. If you have 12.1(19) and above issue this command "sh idprom interface type/mod/port"

The security enabled GBIC modules have a serial EEPROM that contains the serial mumber, a security code, and cyclic redundancy check (CRC). When the GBIC module is inserted into the switch, the software reads the EEPROM to recompute the security code and CRC. The software generates an error message if the CRC is invalid or if the recomputed security code does not match the one stored in the EEPROM (All 1000BT GBICs and SFP GBICs are security enabled. Newer shipping LX/SX GBICs too).

Nope 12.1(11b). I don't seem to have any idprom commands under show. Do I need to upgrade the IOS just to get this information?

Hi William,

Yes you need to upgrade to get this command supported. "sh idprom" may be supported in some release lower than 12.1(19) but for "sh idprom interface" command need minimum 12.1(19)
