You can use the arp command.

Do a man on arp.

Also lanscan will give you mac addresses for all you lan cards.

Or landiag will also give you the information

Hi:

'lanscan' will yield you the MAC address(es).

'ifconfig ' will yield the corresponding IP address.

Regards!

To get mac address do the following:

1) lanscan - look at 2nd collumm (station Address).

2) ifconfig lan# - Verify which NIC card and IP your looking for.

Andy,
please note that lanscan can display wrong MAC address. To be sure you see LAN card's built-in MAC address you should use PDC.
There're 2 files in hpux at /etc/rc.config.d: hpetherconf and hpbase100conf where MAC address can be assigned to LAN card (HP_ETHER_STATION_ADDRESS) and this MAC address will override native card's MAC address. That's why people who simply dd'ing systems usually get MAC address conflicts

use lanscan for the Mac
lanscan
use ifconfig for the IP
ifconfig lan#

Just splitting a hair here.

Servers don't have MAC addresses, NIC cards do.

If you have two NIC cards, you have two MAC addresses, which are unique to each card, even if they are the exact same model.

I have nothing to add to the commands provided earlier by others, they were really good.
