Mac addresses of NICs (why are they the same)
I am training to be support on our solaris based network and was wondering why solaris seems to assign the same mac address to all NICs placed in the machine regardless of how many NICs are in there, when i do a ifconfig -a all nics have same MAC.
Presumably this is a feature and there is reasoning behind it. But i cant work out why it would do it
any ideas

Hi, is there a way in Solaris 8 to determine how many total NIC's say a Sun Sparc box has installed - plumbed or unplumbed - and find out its capable network speeds and MAC address?
I know ifconfig -a but that only shows the plumbed and used interfaces.
thx
