Retrieving the Unique Device Identifier on Controllers and Access Points
Retrieving the Unique Device Identifier on Controllers and
Access Points
The unique device identifier (UDI) standard uniquely identifies products across all Cisco hardware
product families, enabling customers to identify and track Cisco products throughout their business and
network operations and to automate their asset management systems. The standard is consistent across
all electronic, physical, and standard business communications. The UDI consists of five data elements:
• The orderable product identifier (PID)
• The version of the product identifier (VID)
• The serial number (SN)
• The entity name
• The product description
The UDI is burned into the EEPROM of controllers and lightweight access points at the factory. It can
be retrieved through either the GUI or the CLI.

Access Points
