This is your MAC address.

Hi;

#lanscan

You can also get the MAC address from "lanadmin" command

#lanadmin

follow the instruction as display in screen.

As already discussed, for something you are scripting, lanscan/lanadmin are probably the way to go.

If you want something programatic, you need to make suitable DLPI calls, which should be documented in the DLPI programming manual(s) online at http://docs.hp.com/

hi,

lanscan will help you get the MAC address for all NICs.

However arp will give you the primary MAC address. the Address mapped to your ip address.

Assalam-O-Alaaikum,

# lanscan

Path Address In# State NamePPA ID Type Support Mjr#
10/4/16 0x080009D41DBB 1 UP lan1 snap1 1 ETHER Yes 119

The second field of the output under the Station Address column heading is the MAC address of installed network adapters. It starts with 0x showing that it is a hexadecimal number.
