The C887VA-K9 is the successor the CISCO887VA-K9. They are functionally similar with a few subtle differences, however more significantly they do run different versions of IOS and the former* is effectively end of life so configuration syntax will continue to diverge going forward.
There’s a brief comparison here: https://blog.router-switch.com/2017/06/cisco-800-series-router-migration-opt...
End of life notice: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/routers/800-series-routers...
The entPhysicalName attribute will allow us to distinguish the models, so that would be great! Thanks

Hi Peter,
what the different? This is correct Cisco part name.
I can leave hardware just as 887VA (as used in entPhysicalName). That ok?

I would consider it to be less correct now. The C887VA-K9 and CISCO887VA-K9 are quite different hardware despite the similar names. It would be useful to distinguish between them.

Hi,
this is exactly correct (not bug).
Full hardware name is "Cisco C887VA", where "Cisco" now stored in vendor field and "C887VA-K9" in hardware field:
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/routers/c887va-integrated-services-rou...
And yes, that was changed 2 days ago to this more correctly names.

We have a few hundred Cisco 880 series routers (approximately four different variants). Since ~4 days ago, they’re all getting reported as the same hardware now – C887VA-K9
Here’s an example – actually is a CISCO887VA-K9 – from poller.php 19.2.9721:
##### Module Start: os #####
o OS Poller Group o Vendor Cisco o Hardware C887VA-K9 o Version 15.3(3)M9 o Features UNIVERSALK9 o Serial FGL1811239Z o Asset <empty>
