Solaris

Code:

ifconfig -a | sed -n '/BROADCAST/ s/: .*$//p'

Thanks for this.It works too.

Any idea on how the same o/p would be achived in SUSE Linux?

I have currently no SuSE or other Linux box available.

What does its "ifconfig -a" output looks like when virtual interfaces are present ?

Linux uses 'eth[0-9]' instead of driver names. So...

ifconfig|grep -e "^eth[0-9]"|awk '{print $1}'

why using 'grep' AND 'awk'....

Code:

ifconfig| awk '/^eth[0-9]/ {print $1}'

Ah, cool- I did not know it could be done like that!

thanks guys

both things work...

one small change for linux is

Code:

/sbin/ifconfig| awk '/^eth[0-9]/ {print $1}'

now on my solaris box ,i wrote following to get MAC address

Code:

arp -a | grep "<hostname>" | grep "<interface_name>" | head -1 | awk '{print $5}'

i get data pertaining to physical interfaces as 'arp' returns only those.

i need to see if i can write something like this:

say there are two logical interfces 'ceo:1','ce0:2',then it should bear same MAC address as that of 'ce0'.

any code suggestion is welcome !!

gotcha !!!
quite a simple line of code...

thanks everyone !!
