retrieving mac address

[George221]

Does anyone know of a command that can retrieve the mac address from the ethernet card of it's system?.

lscfg -vl entX

The mac address is listed as Network Address I think.

Jim is right: and here's a method to extract just the MAC address for e.g. ent0 (in ksh):

# MAC0=$(lscfg -vl ent0|sed -n '/Network Address/ s/^ *Network Address\.*//p')
# echo $MAC0

Thank you very much.

You can also do netstat -i

netstat -i only shows configured interfaces. lscfg works on any installed hardware...
