Determine the MAC Address of a Connected Server Network Port (VMware ESXi)

The server has four network ports, NET0, NET1, NET2, and NET3. When any of these ports are connected to the network, VMware ESXi assigns a MAC address to each port.

Use this procedure to determine the MAC address for each server network port.

• Type this command in the Oracle ILOM CLI for each server network port.

  -> show /System/Networking/Ethernet_NICs/Ethernet_NIC_n

  where is n is 0, 1, 2, or 3.

  For example:

  -> show /System/Networking/Ethernet_NICs/Ethernet_NIC_0
  /System/Networking/Ethernet_NICs/Ethernet_NIC_0
    Targets:
    Properties:
      health = OK
      health_details = - 
      location = NET0 (Ethernet NIC 0)
      manufacturer = INTEL
      part_number = X540
      serial_number = Not Available
      mac_addresses = 00:21:28:3D:B7:96
    Commands:
      cd
      show
