Obtain the MAC address, serial number, and host properties of the appliance
A Media Access Control address (MAC address) is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communication on the physical network segment. The serial number is on the back panel of the appliance. If you do not have easy access to the back panel, you can get the appliance's serial number by logging on to the light out management (LOM) port. You can also retrieve the parameter settings assigned to the IP addresses, such as the state of ARP, ICMP, telnet, secure shell access, and dynamic routing.
To obtain the MAC address, serial number, and host properties of the appliance by using the LOM GUI
-
Log on to the LOM GUI.
-
Navigate to System > Component Info.
-
In the Overview tab, you can view the MAC address, serial number, and host properties of the appliance.
Obtain the MAC address and host properties of the BMC by using the appliance shell
