System Call for Ethernet Address in Solaris ?

[김찬형]

Hi, I need some help !

I'm eager to know what system call to get ethernet address in Solaris.

I've used ioctl() in HP-UX, getkerninfo() in AIX.

but I can't find it in Solaris.

Is there anybody who help me ?

Thanks in advance !!!

I have been trying to figure this out for some time. Reverse
engineering ifconfig (with gdb and truss) and examining
non-published header files in /usr/include/* suggests that this
is possible using SIOCGENADDR ioctls, but I have not been
able to pull out MAC addresses yet -- just interface
lists for plumbed ifs, up/down/etc status, and configured IP
numbers.

If you make any progress on this, I'd love to hear from
you. OTOH, you may be able to do with MIBs but I am not
100% sure as I have not pursued this route.

Cheers,
Wes

try arp -a. also, are you trying to get a particular MAC address or a
local one. try snoop ether (or some variation of that snoop -V ether,
etc.).
