Find out Mac address of unplumbed NICs.
per.l...@gmail.com
// Sys: latest Solaris 10/SPARC //
Is there a nice way to find out the MAC address of an interface that
has never been plumbed?
(# arp -a doesn't solve this one).
Thanks.

you can grep local-mac-address from prtconf -vp output.
but without plumbing them there is no way of knowing which interface name
each interface gets.

dladm show-phys -m (can't remember if this works on S10)
or
plumb it, ifconfig <interface>, unplumb it.

Not in Solaris 10.

I'll ask the switch.

Switch does not have that information.

The dladm show-phys command is indeed Solaris 11 only. There is no
specific command in Solaris 10 to get this information.
The easiest way is to use "ifconfig -a plumb" and then use the
"ifconfig -a" command to check for the mac addresses.
If you do not want this then then alternative would be to manually
parse the output of the prtpicl command. Check the output of
"prtpicl -c network -v". This should include "driver-name" and
"instance" to associate an a block to a specific network interface
and the "local-mac-address" to get the mac address of that entry.

This did the trick. Many thanks!
