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 LOM port. You can also retrieve the parameter settings assigned to the IP addresses configured on the appliance, 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

In the Menu bar, click Remote Control.
Under Options, click Console Redirection.
Click Launch Console, and then click Yes.
Type the administrator credentials.
Type show interface <management_interface_id> to display the MAC address.
Type show hardware to display the serial number of the appliance.
Type sh nsip to display the host properties of the appliance.

To obtain the MAC address and host properties of the BMC by using the appliance shell

At the shell prompt, type:

ipmitool lan print
