Media Access Control

Hi All,

Media Access Control - in short - mac address. This post explains how to find out the mac address of your ethernet card using a Linux command.

Issue this command from your terminal:

$arp

192.168.x.y              ether   00:01:02:03:04:05   C                     eth1

Through 'arp' command - you can figure out the mac address.

Here above in the dummy example - 00:01:02:03:04:05 - will be my mac address.

Hope you liked this post,
