Did you ever wanted to find out inventory details of the SFP plugged into WLC ports ? Typically “show inventory” is what we need. But in AireOS, that command only give the Chassis serial Number as shown below.
(5508-1) >show inventory Burned-in MAC Address............................ 64:00:F1:F5:B0:80 Power Supply 1................................... Present, OK Power Supply 2................................... Present, OK Maximum number of APs supported.................. 250 NAME: "Chassis" , DESCR: "Cisco 5500 Series Wireless LAN Controller" PID: AIR-CT5508-K9, VID: V02, SN: FCW1519L0B1
This CSC forum thread give a very useful CLI command (debug fastpath cfgtool –dump.sfp) you can run on AireOS WLC to get that information.
Here is a sample output
(5508-WC01) >debug fastpath cfgtool --dump.sfp (5508-WC01) >FP0.

Just to make it complete, if it is any IOS WLC platform you can run “show inventory raw” command you can get that information. Here is an example form a 5760.
5760-1#show inventory raw | in SFP- NAME: "TenGigabitEthernet1/0/3", DESCR: "SFP-10GBase-LR" PID: SFP-10G-LR , VID: V02 , SN: ONT151702VS NAME: "TenGigabitEthernet1/0/4", DESCR: "SFP-10GBase-LR" PID: SFP-10G-LR , VID: V02 , SN: ONT151702VE NAME: "TenGigabitEthernet1/0/5", DESCR: "SFP-10GBase-LR" PID: SFP-10G-LR , VID: V02 , SN: FNS16150BWF NAME: "TenGigabitEthernet1/0/6", DESCR: "SFP-10GBase-LR" PID: SFP-10G-LR , VID: V02 , SN: FNS170701E6
Here is similar output from 3850
3850-1#show inventory raw | in SFP- NAME: "TenGigabitEthernet1/1/3", DESCR: "SFP-10GBase-LR" PID: SFP-10G-LR , VID: V01 , SN: SLK02742740BH NAME: "TenGigabitEthernet2/1/3", DESCR: "SFP-10GBase-LR" PID: SFP-10G-LR , VID: V02 , SN: FNS17420M9K
This may be a useful command to remember if anyone asked this info from you.
