Model Name on the User Interface
When you are running Secure Web Gateway as a physical appliance on a hardware platform, you can view the model name on the user interface under Configuration > Appliances.
The appliance you are currently working on is displayed in a tree structure with its system settings. When the appliance is connected to others in a cluster, these are also displayed.
Each appliance has an ID, which is also shown, consisting of mwgappl as prefix and a number.
Retrieving the Serial Number
An appliance hardware box has a serial number, which you can retrieve using a command that you run on a system console.
The command is:
dmidecode -s system-serial-number
Here is an example of how this command is run to have a serial number returned.
[root@swgappl ~]# dmidecode -s system-serial-number A0C9123041 [root@swgappl ~]#
