Locating labels on Cisco 8300 Series Secure Routers

Use the Cisco Product Identification (CPI) tool to find labels on the platform. The tool provides detailed illustrations and descriptions of where labels are located on Cisco products. It includes these features:

  • A search option that allows browsing for models by using a tree-structured product hierarchy

  • A search field on the final results page that makes it easier to look up multiple products

  • End-of-sale products clearly identified in results lists

The tool streamlines the process of locating serial number labels and identifying products. Serial number information expedites the entitlement process and is required for access to support services.


Labels on Cisco 8300 Series Secure Routers

The figure shows the location of the labels on the Cisco 8300 Series Secure Routers. Labels are located at the same location on all the Cisco 8300 Series Secure Routers.

The Serial number (SN), Common language equipment identifier (CLEI), Top Assembly Number (TAN), Product ID (PID), PID version ID (VID), and Quick response (QR) code are printed on a label on the back of the platform or on a label tray located on the chassis.

Note

The RFID tags on the devices are pre-fitted and does not come with spare RFID tags.

Locate product identification details

Software license

The serial number (SN), product ID (PID), version ID (VID), Cloud ID and Common Language Equipment Identifier (CLEI) are printed on a label on the bottom of the device or on the label tray.

To obtain a software license, you need the unique device identifier (UDI) of the device where the license is to be installed.

The UDI has two main components:

  • Product ID (PID)

  • Serial number (SN)

The UDI can be viewed using the show license udi command in privileged Exec mode in Cisco Internet Operating System (IOS) software.

For additional information on the UDI, see the Product Identification Standrad document on cisco.com.
