I know that a mac address is a hex based number hard wired in to the
network interface
if I run ifconfig i get the following output (I have shortened this for
1 interface
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr f8:0f:41:21:84:bc
inet addr:192.168.1.12 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::fa0f:41ff:fe21:84bc/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:1328 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:1439 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:767167 (767.1 KB) TX bytes:163586 (163.5 KB)
Interrupt:41 Base address:0xc000
Am I right in thinking that HWaddr is the same as this mac address as it
has the same format in terms of numbers etc
My router makes reference to mac addresses with some of the more
advanced set up options.
thanks
Paul
