Generating a Hardware Report
You can generate a report to display detailed hardware information for your selected devices. The
Hardware Report includes user-specified information for each device. This user-specified information
will be displayed only when it is available.
To generate the report, see Generating Inventory Reports.
This report displays:
• The following information about hardware characteristics:
–
Total number of devices
–
Devices with inventory data
–
Devices without inventory data
• Details of hardware information including system, processor, chassis information, based on the
Cisco MetaData Framework (MDF) categories of devices, with a separate table for each device
category.
Each table displays the hardware information obtained by polling the class-specific MIB objects on
the devices.
The flash size that appears in the Hardware Report is the total of the flash sizes of all the flash devices
on that particular device.
For example, if you have a Catalyst 4503 device that contains flash devices such as Boot Flash
(61000000 bytes), Slot0 Compact Flash (128000000 bytes), and Cat4000 Private Flash (500000 bytes),
the Hardware Report for this Catalyst device will display the total of all the flash devices. That is, the
sum of the Boot Flash, Slot0 Compact Flash, and Cat4000 Private Flash (189500000 bytes).
You can also use Custom Reports (see Using Inventory Custom Report Templates) to generate more
specific information, such as RAM size, flash size, port count, hardware version, or card type.
From within the report, you can access any table in the report using the Go to Device category drop-down
list. This list displays all the device categories in the generated report.
For more information about a device in the report, click on the device name or IP address. You will be
directed to Device Center. (For details about Device Center, see the CiscoWorks Common Services
Online Help or User Guide).
Generating a Software Report
You can display software information including system information, image information and processor
details for selected devices. User-specified information is also displayed in this report, when it is
available.
