Facilitates discovery of products subject to recall or upgrade

Enhances inventory automation of Cisco products
The Cisco product identification standard provides the following features:
• Version visibility—Cisco continuously improves products through feature additions. Product changes
are indicated by incrementing the version ID (VID), which provides version visibility to help you
understand and manage product changes. The VID management ensures consistency of changes from
product to product.
• Operating expense reduction— The Cisco UDI provides accurate and detailed network inventory
information; identifying each Cisco product in a network element through a standard interface. Cisco
operating systems can view and use this data, allowing you to automate your electronic inventory.
• Consistency across product layers—The UDI is designed into hardware products and cannot overwritten
in error. Operating and management systems discover the UDI through standard interfaces and display
the UDI in standard outputs. Standard interfaces include the IETF standard ENTITY-MIB.
