Cannot Read Network Adapter

DQ07 — Sun, 07 Apr 2024 05:57:21 GMT

I am working on a ProLiant DL380 Gen11, Firmware 1.57 using HPEilocmdlets 4.3.0.0 and Powershell version 5.1. When I run the command Get-HpeiloNicInfo I only receive output for the EthernetInterface. the NetworkAdapter output is blank. I need to retrieve the MAC address for the network adapter.

$nic = Get-hpeiloNICInfo -conneciton $iloconnection

Hi DQ07 ,

Could you please try to use the following command Get-NetAdapter in powershell to retrieve Network Adapter.

Thanks and Regards,
Manoj

Hello,

You may refer to "RESTful Interface Tool User Guide" and see if it helps.

Hi @DQ07

You can use this command getmac /v to retrieve the MAC address for the network adapter.
It is also possible to determine the MAC address of a NIC with the ipconfig /all command.

Hi @DQ07 ,

with the cmdlet "Get-hpeiloNICInfo," there are occasional issues with retrieving the MAC address. Please try using "ilorest.exe" in PowerShell as follows (or manually with ilorest):
$iloRestExe = 'C:\Program Files\Hewlett Packard Enterprise\RESTful Interface Tool\ilorest.exe'
$r = & "$iloRestExe" list Name "PhysicalPorts/MacAddress" --selector=NetworkAdapter --url $iloIP --logout -u $iloAdministrator -p $ilopassword -j
$r = $r | select -skip 1 | select -skiplast 2 | ConvertFrom-Json
$mac = $r.PhysicalPorts[0].MacAddress -replace(":","")

Certainly, you can also try it like this:
$sharedNic = Get-HPEiLOIPv4NetworkSetting -Connection $iloConnection -InterfaceType Shared -WarningAction SilentlyContinue
$dedicatedIloNic = Get-HPEiLOIPv4NetworkSetting -Connection $iloConnection -InterfaceType Dedicated -WarningAction SilentlyContinue
