If you are returning a switch or hardware component to Juniper Networks for repair or replacement, you must locate the serial number of the switch or component. You must provide the serial number to the Juniper Networks Technical Assistance Center (JTAC) when you contact them to obtain Return Materials Authorization (RMA).
If the switch is operational and you can access the CLI, you can list serial numbers for the switch and for some components with a CLI command. If you do not have access to the CLI or if the serial number for the component does not appear in the command output, you can locate the serial number ID label on the physical switch or component (see Figure 1).
![]() | Note: If you want to find the serial number on the physical switch component, you will need to remove the component from the switch chassis, for which you must have the required parts and tools available. |
To list the switch and switch components and their serial numbers, enter the following CLI command:
user@switch> show chassis hardwareHardware inventory: Item Version Part number Serial number Description Chassis BH0208375304 EX3200-24T Routing Engine 0 REV 11 750-021261 BH0208375304 EX3200-24T, 8 POE FPC 0 REV 11 750-021261 BH0208375304 EX3200-24T, 8 POE CPU BUILTIN BUILTIN FPC CPU PIC 0 BUILTIN BUILTIN 24x 10/100/1000 Base-T Power Supply 0 REV 03 740-020957 AT0508285661 PS 320W AC Fan Tray Fan Tray
EX3200 switches have serial number ID labels located on the rear panel of the chassis (see Figure 1 ).

The power supplies, fan trays, and uplink modules installed in EX Series switches are field-replaceable units (FRUs).
For each of these FRUs, you must remove the FRU from the switch chassis to see the FRU’s serial number ID label.
