Finding out what WICs are in a router via telnet...

Curious, what show command will tell you what WIC cards are in a router?

(I got a new job, and it involves extensive remote troubleshooting... much
of the time, I have to order replacements from Cisco, when the customer
doesn't have the slightest clue...)

Show version will tell you that there is a serial interface, but not which
one... I need to find exact model numbers.... (e.g. WIC-1DSU-1T, or WIC-1T,
etc...)

Does "show controllers" show the information you want?

 

Or try "show tech" or "show hardware", depending on the IOS.

Show diag is good for the modular routers. If you get a copy of that
from the devices when you can get to them, then even if some box on the
other side of the country is dead in the water, at least you, and
Cisco, will know what it is and what's in it.

At the bleeding edge of IOS is "show inventory";

This is kind of long and rambling, hopefully it will provide
some clues

You can definately do this with SNMP. I am out of date however RME
(Resource Manager Essentials) used to do a good inventory via snmp.

Once you figure out the OIDs it should be quite easy, even without
RME.

What you could do is to snmpwalk the whole mib and search
for interesting text in the output. e.g. WIC-1T.
Be aware that walking the whole mib tree could have a significant
impact on the behaviour of the box. Don't do it on a production box
unless it's out of hours.


snmpwalk -c community 192.168.20.248 .1.3.6.1.4.1.9 > 4507r-walk.txt

If you don't have snmp walk, download ucd-snmp-4.2.3-win32.zip.

C:\>grep -i "ws-x" 4507r-walk.txt

My mibs are not properly installed and so I just get the numbers.

..iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.cisco
is
..1.3.6.1.4.1.9

###
..1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.92.1.1.1.3
..iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.9.9.92.1.1.1.3

is

..iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.cisco.ciscoMgmt
.ciscoEntityAssetMIB.ciscoEntityAssetMIBObjects.ceAssetTable
.ceAssetEntry.ceAssetOrderablePartNumber

Which would appear to be JUST what you want.

Also:-
..1.3.6.1.4.1.9.3.6.13.1.2
..iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.cisco
.temporary.chassis.cardTable
does not work on 4507R

..iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.cisco.temporary
.chassis.processorRam
does work on 4507R

chassisNumSlots .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.5.1.2.14.0 CISCO-STACK-MIB
does not work on 4507R

These OLDER OIDs may work on some platforms. It seems that
you need to have the mibs installed to allow some of the returned
values to be translated into text.

..iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.cisco
.temporary.chassis.chassisType
..1.3.6.1.4.1.9.3.6.1

Returns 119 which seems to get mapped locally to "ws-c3524-xl"


God knows which platforms support what.


GOOD LUCK.
