How to know BSSID MAC address??

I mean, I want to know the MAC address of the access point I am connected to. From Linux shell I use "iwconfig" (wireless adapters) or "ifconfig" (ethernet adapters), but from Snow Leopard Teminal "iwconfig" doesn't work and "ifconfig" doesn't do the trick.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'key input'.
Hold option (alt) while clicking on the WiFi icon in the menu bar (ie: alt-click on WiFi), and you'll find additional (and more detailed) information on the current WiFi status displayed.
Ah. I understand now. For some reason I was thinking some kind of command line selection key as input to the 'airport' command.
Thanks for clarifying.
PS. By any chance are you the same Hoffman that worked in ZKO3 (if you do not know what that means, you are not him ).

My MacBook was stolen and I need to know the MAC address

An emergency question to Apple support. My MacBook was stolen and I need to know the MAC address of its network card. I have a receipt with the serial number of my MacBook. Can you assist?
My serial: W8***66D
Thank you
p.s Any ideas how I can find it?

Report the theft to your local authorities.
Apple has no means of tracking thefts, as thieves themselves may claim the machine is theres just by looking up the information on the computer, and unless you registered the machine, it is really their word against yours, unless you also have receipt or other information that they can track to your receipt against your serial number.
Your homeowners insurance may be able to recoup the cost.
In the future, consider getting Lapcop, or Lojack for notebooks.
Good luck!

Hi,
VPLS provides the medium to for a E-LAN, and in Cisco implementations, the MAC learning is not actually done by a VPLS instance.
This can be best explained by an example.
PE(SW)-A ---- PE(SW)-B
PE(SW)-C
Now these three PE nodes under VPLS, are only provided the medium to connect to each other using P2P PW forming a full mesh.
For simplicity you can assume they are three switches connected in the above manner using copper. So this copper connecitivity is provided by VPLS.
And at the end of the day the end nodes learn mac addresses using the conventional method of flooding and learning. So you wont find any VPLS specific commands to see what mac address is the VPLS instance flooding. As its only providing a medium for connectivty. And the flooding is done by the end nodes. as they treat the VPLS VC as one of the outgoing port.

How to get the MAC address of the additional 10G NIC with ILO command line

how to get the MAC address of the additional 10G NIC with ILO command line?
thanks.
This question was solved.

Hi Bruce,
Out from what I can find on this network card is it not possible to get the mac address without a OS. I would recommend you to get/burn a Linux/Ubuntu live CD/DVD and run a Ifconfig in there.
Hope it helps you.

How is that the MAC address (BIA : Burn -in -Address) not yet exhausted?

How is that the MAC address (BIA : Burn -in -Address) not yet exhausted? IPV4 is exhausted and we are moving to IPV6!

MAC addresses are 48 bits long. That is 65536 times the IPv4 space. IP addresses need to be globally unique while MAC addresses only need to be unique on their local LAN segment (LAN/VLAN).
Here is a good link explaining it more in detail:
http://blog.michaelfmcnamara.com/2013/03/are-we-running-out-of-mac-addresses/
There is also a link there that suggests some edits to the 24-bit OUI assignments:

How can i fix mac address?

I have a question.
some of application see mac address for authorization.
but azure pc seems to change its mac address when rebooting.
how can i fix mac address if rebooting ?

Hi Munyamunya;
A very good question indeed.
As of now MAC address cannot be kept persistent permanently there are several scenarios where a mac address can change, A. Service Healing B. Manual Stoppage of VM from the Portal.C. Upgrades/ Downgrades of Cores etc..
As specific as it gets if you would like the MAC to be persistent only for reboots, you could create a Regional Vnet and this would keep the MAC intact only on reboots, however service healing and Stopped Deallocated VM are bound to let the VM loose their
mac address.
A permanent solution would definitely be beneficial to all, you could pass on your valuable feedback through this
link.
Hopes this helps.

How to capture System MAC address On internet

Hi,
I am doing internet based application. I want to capture user system MAC address when ever user is logged in to my application over internet. So please tell me how i can capture users mac address. please help me.. with out this i cant i go further in my process. please help
Regards,,

I think you're out of luck--the IP packets that come to your web server don't contain the MAC address; that would only be available on the LAN where the NIC resided. All the other components of the Internet don't use the MAC address (that's actually what the "Inter" part means).
I assume you're wanting to track unique users. You might try cookies or something of the like.
Best of luck.

How To Export from Mac address book to CSV file

In Mac's address book: How do you export a highlighted group of *contacts to a cvs file* (so that I can import in groups by my categories into Google contacts- that way it is easier to sort/designate the contacts one I get the contacts there into Google).
I can sync them all- but then I'd have to put them into their categories one at a time, there are too many...
thx missy
(I'm used to ms office and pc's)

Okay, *I got this issue worked out;here's how.* (Unfortunately the mac app AB2CSV doesn't open up to the screens it's supposed to in order to choose and convert or save contacts to a csv file and did crash my address book- which was very scary to see my 1533 contacts vanish!! )
Luckily somehow I had made an archive file of them all and got them back into my mac Calendar unscathed -so I lucked out...
Today at my local Apple Store in Nashville *I was shown a better way-and I'm glad to share this with you*:(They also set up my mobile me and my itouch to sync my contacts and emails too-plus got my contacts synced up to my GoogleApps acnt- so now I am in the clouds, backed up, and liberated-in spite of myself!!)
*iWorks Numbers* works similar to msExcel, so you *open up Numbers* ;get on to a *new blank page*;also *open Address Book* and highlight the contacts from your address book and *drag them right on to your Numbers page*; like magic it looks like an excel spread sheet (you can choose the columns/headers you want to use ie name,phone #,street,city, email, etc even the notes); then you go up to *Share in the menu*; *choose csv file*; and *save it*...Thank you Apple store Green Hills!! you saved me today!!

How to get the MAC address of a PXI in a dll

Hi,
I am looking for a way to get the MAC address of a PXI RT controller. I know that there is a VI to do this, but I am looking for a solution for a dll (C-Code).
I use the "Call library node" to call this dll and want to make sure that it is only used on a specific PXI.
Since the VI provides the functionality, I am wondering if it is also available to be called from C-Code?
Thank you,
Christian

If it is available in LabVIEW it is probably available in CVI, which you could then build into a DLL (if there isn't one available already).
