Cisco Product Identification Tool

The Cisco Product Identification (CPI) tool helps you retrieve the serial number of your Cisco products.

Before you submit a request for service online or by phone, use the CPI tool to locate your product serial number. You can access this tool from the Cisco Support website.

To access this tool:

Step 1 Click the Get Tools & Resources link.

Step 2 Click the All Tools (A-Z) tab.

Step 3 Select Cisco Product Identification Tool from the alphabetical drop-down list.

This tool offers three search options:

• Search by product ID or model name.
• Browse for Cisco model.
• Copy and paste the output of the show command to identify the product.

Search results show an illustration of your product with the serial number label location highlighted. Locate the serial number label on your product and record the information before you place a service call.

You can access the CPI tool at:
