View source for Checking the MAC adress via console


* if the device has no or wrong MAC-Adress on label try the following.
* Connect to the serial console of the device (just like to a Cisco device, same serial port settings)
* you will be asked to set a password, choose whatever you like, its not saved as long you don't save the configuration
* type <code>display diagnostic-information</code> and hit <code>ENTER</code>
* this will give out a huge diagnostic report, some seconds after the section  <code>=====display interface====</code> appears, stop the output by pressing <code>CTRL + C</code>
* now search for the entry which starts with <code>IP Sending Frames' Format is PKTFMT_ETHNT_2, Hardware address is xxxx-xxxx-xxxx</code>
* the <code>xxxx-xxxx-xxxx</code> part is the Base Mac-adress of the device
