Display MAC Address of host

What is the command or location in VIC to show the MAC Address of the ESX 3.5 U4 host?

It is the console address I need, and esxcfg-vswif -l does not show the MAC.

Thanks,

Hello.

Go to the properties of the vSwitch with the Service Console and in the ports tab, select the Service Console. The MAC address is in the IP Settings box on the right.

KB article 1001167 also provides this syntax: ifconfig |grep -i hw

Good Luck!
