It can be a little confusing to get the MAC Address of the ISAM appliance network interfaces, which is particularly useful in virtualised environments. I’ve been in circumstances where you want to add/remove networking interfaces, but the order in which they are described in VMWare rarely corresponds to the order they are assigned when the operating system detects them.
So here is a quick tip to determine the Networking MAC address:
On the ISAM LMI Appliance dashboard (The appliance homepage), there is an “Interfaces” twisty. In that section, it will display the available networking interfaces, and their corresponding MAC addresses!
In ISAM v8.0.1.2 onwards, this is now also available on the Networking configuration pages:
