Hi there,

I know that some vendors (e.g., SuperMicro) make it possible to fetch the
MAC address of a NIC that's attached to the motherboard, but does something
similar exist for Dell? I've been fishing around the Internet in vain to
find if there's some command or sequence of hex that I can use to fetch
that programmatically from our Dell machines.

I know that there is a 'delloem mac' command supported by IPMI tool, but
when I try that, I get an error and not any kind of meaningful output:

ipmitool -H <stuff> -U <stuff> -P <stuff> delloem mac
Error in getting MAC Address (Unknown (0x80))

I've also tried '-l lanplus' and I poked at ipmi-oem's commands as well,
but no dice. I can confirm that the machines I've poked at are online, as I
can do more mundane things like get power state, sensor data, etc.; I am
also able to fetch some of the system attributes like serial number using
raw hex sequences, but I am a bit lost when it comes to the appropriate
codes, and brute-forcing through canned sequences seems dangerous/a fool's
errand.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

thanks,
Klaus
