Identifying the MAC address using ifconfig

About this task

If you have not installed AE Services or you can not access WebLM, use the Linux ifconfig command to identify the MAC address of the NIC.

If the server has a dual NIC or multiple NICs, provide the MAC address of the first Ethernet interface on the first NIC.

If remote WEBLM server is used, the MAC ID of the remote server should be used for license generation.

Procedure

  1. From the Linux command prompt, type ifconfig eth0.
  2. In the ifconfig command output, the MAC address corresponds to the hexadecimal value for HWaddr.

    In the following example it is expressed as 00:B0:D0:44:9F:A1.

    eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:B0:D0:44:9F:A1

    inet addr:10.10.10.1 Bcast:10.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0

    noteNote

    If the NIC you used to generate the MAC address changes after initial installation, contact your local Avaya distributor. If you have a technical support agreement with Avaya, call 1-800-344-9670.
