MAC Addresses in GUI

[spetrillo]

Hello all,

I think I know the answer to this question(No) but I am going to ask it anyways. Is there any way to get the MAC of all my interfaces populated in the Network section of the PVE GUI? It would really be helpful to have that information, especially when you are trying to set MACs for VFs.

Thanks,
Steve

Thinking outside the box, you can get the MAC address with nmap.


nmap 192.168.1.251 |grep MAC
MAC Address: BC:24:11:6Q:61:7C (Unknown)

Refined:

nmap 192.168.1.251 |grep MAC |awk '{print $3}'
BC:24:11:6B:61:7C

Yes that does work...but since I was in the GUI I was hoping there was a way to add into the GUI..thank you though!

There is no way I know of to get this in the GUI, yet you can get it via CLI. PVE VM/container configuration is just text files in /etc/pve, so you can just grep the folder for mac= and get what you want:

grep -irEe '(hwaddr|virtio|net)=[0-9A-B]' /etc/pve

You may need to add some other network devices, these are the ones I use.

Thank you for this...this is helpful in that I can get a full list, including vfs.

Actually this is good idea, since the GUI already shows interface IP, CIDR etc., why not showing the MAC assigned to the interface?
