Issue/Introduction

How can I use Java Webservices (REST API) to pull Serial Numbers from Chassis Linecard devices?

Environment

Any Spectrum version
 

Resolution

From a Java Webservices POST we can use the model class of 18 (component) to get the serial number attribute for each of the Linecards that show up in Chassis Manager.

The URL is

http://<OneClick_Server>:<port>/spectrum/restful/models

The XML body is
