Viptela (Cisco) Routers can not have serial number found by discovery

When we run the discovery probe, the viptela routers all return with CI's missing their serial numbers. 

We know they exist but is there a specific Serial number "type" we should use in the probe?

Or has anyone figured out how to have them automatically found through discovery?

I know that Cisco has not responded (to my knowledge) that this issue exists or that they can provide either an answer or a workaround for this critical attribute being automatically discovered .

Any thoughts,,comments, or ideally a successful solution to this problem are warmly welcomed.

Thanks, Phil

Sorry for delay in reply. I ran SNMPWALK on the router to check the OID value for serial numbers. Once confirmed by the network team I added the steps for Viptela routers in the router pattern. Attached is a screen capture where in blue color is the OOB steps for Cisco serial numbers and in red color are the steps that I added for Viptela serial number.

can you attach locally my company blocks external sites. Im eager to see your solution THanks
