Comparing Device Inventory in NSM and the CLI
NSM and the JUNOS command-line interface (CLI) display similar information about the device inventory, although screens rendered in NSM look different than the JUNOS CLI. This topic provides an introduction to viewing software and hardware inventory using NSM and compares the NSM view with the CLI output for the same device.
Viewing Device Inventory in NSM
Purpose
NSM displays the hardware and software inventory for each device according to the information it has in its database. For a device with dual Routing Engines, NSM collects the inventory data from the master Routing Engine.
To view the device inventory, the device must be in the Managed state.
Action
To view the device inventory, follow these steps:
- In the navigation tree, select Device Manager > Devices.
- Right-click the device whose inventory you want to view.
- Select View/Reconcile Inventory.
The Device Inventory window opens, similar to the example shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1: The Device Inventory Window
- Select the Hardware tab
to display information about hardware modules in the device, including
the I/O module, the Routing Engine, and so on. (See Figure 2.)
Figure 2: Viewing the Hardware Inventory
- Select the Software tab to display
information about the software packages installed in the device, including
the installed OS and its version, and any other installed packages.
(See Figure 3.)

Note: The License tab not supported for M-series or MX-series devices.
Viewing Device Inventory from the CLI
Purpose
The information displayed in the Device Inventory window, as shown in Viewing Device Inventory in NSM can also be viewed from the device (router) using the CLI operational mode. Generally, the hardware and software information displayed in the Device Inventory window and the CLI command output is similar.
Action
To view device hardware and software inventory, from the device enter the following JUNOS CLI operational mode commands:

Meaning
The sample output for the show chassis hardware command shows the hardware installed on the M10i device. The row of output showing the midplane is in bold to illustrate that the midplane information in this example is identical to the midplane information in the NSM UI example.
The sample output for the show version command shows the version of JUNOS software installed on the M10i device. In this instance, the CLI output provides more information than is provided by the NSM UI.
