Hi

The lanscan command will give the MAC address for all the interface present on the system
# lanscan
The second Column will give you the MAC address

Hey Oleg,
There are a number of methods you can use for finding the MAC address. The MAC address is usually printed on the card itself, or comes with the documentation for the card so you may want to check your documentation ... OR,

To find the MAC address on HP-UX, use the lanscan command, for example:

# /etc/lanscan
Hardware Station Dev Hardware Net-Interface NM Encapsulation Mjr
Path Address lu State NameUnit State ID Methods Num
2.0.2 0x08000935C99D 0 UP lan0 UP 4 ETHER 52

The MAC address of this machine is 08000935C99D.

Here's a little info I've kept around since I used to have to request licenses for our software ...

The MAC address is a 12-digit hexadecimal number made up from the numbers 0 to 9 and letters A to F. It is usually split into 6 pairs of 2-digit numbers, separated by colons or dashes, such as 08:00:20:02:90:4c, but the separator characters should be removed when sending it for registration or licensing.

Hope this helps.
