Cisco Product Identification Standard
This section describes the Cisco products and services product identification standard. This feature provides
you with the ability to effectively integrate and manage Cisco products in your network and business operations.
Unique Device Identifier
The Unique Device Identifier (UDI) is the Cisco product identification standard for hardware products. A
product identification standard removes barriers to enterprise automation and can help you reduce operating
expenses.
The UDI provides a consistent electronic, physical, and associated business-to-business information product
identification standard.
The UDI is a combination of five data elements. The below table lists the UDI elements.

Product Description
The combination of serial number and product ID (PID) is unique and consistent across all Cisco products.
The PID that is coded on hardware is called a base product identifier.

packaging configuration for a product or a bundled group of products sold, tested, and shipped together.
