How to retrieve mac address?

[Benny Gan]

I tried to search the knowlegde base but couldn't find any answer or steps provided.

Can someone tell me how can I issue a command in OpenVMS 7.3-1 with TCPWare 5.6-2 running so that I can retrieve the mac address of the NICs attached to the server?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Try
$ MC LANCP SHO DEV /CHA

Benny,
you can with
$ MC LANCP SHOW DEV /PARA
or else
$ MC NCP SHOW KNOW LIN /CHAR
or else
$ TCPIP SHOW INTERF /FUL

On my system, TCPIP and LANCP report different MACs.

I use

$ ANA/SYS
show dev

to find all lan devices.

I use

$ ana/sys
show lan/dev=xxx (xxx from previous listing)

to find the info. Hardware address will give you the real hardware mac address. Physical will give you the actual used one (set by startup decnet, starting with AA-).

NCP, NCL, TCP will give only configured devices. LANCP I'm not sure (no test machine).
