Description

I created a couple 7206VXR routers. They all have the same chassis serial number. This has caused problem with some network management software. Is it possible to generate unique chassis serial numbers for each router? Or even better, allow user to define the serial numbers? Thanks!

Research direction

The issue does not identify a source file, test, or entry point. Start by tracing how Dynamips creates 7206VXR router chassis data, then determine whether serial numbers should be generated or configured; done means separate routers expose distinct, management-compatible chassis serial numbers.
