How to get MAC address from ifconfig

21,656

Your mac address are being shown under ether lines.

ether 28:d2:44:e8:30:6a 

and

ether 38:b1:db:c7:a5:27

You can even use nmcli to get your mac address:

nmcli device show enp3s0 | grep -i hw

or

nmcli device show wlp4s0 | grep -i hw

both outputs will be similar to:

GENERAL.HWADDR:      38:b1:db:c7:a5:27

    How can I get MAC address on my notebook? I know I must input ifconfig, but I don't see the line "HWaddr". This is my output:

    $ sudo ifconfig
    enp3s0: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
            ether 28:d2:44:e8:30:6a  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)

            RX errors 0  dropped 0  overruns 0  frame 0
            TX packets 0  bytes 0 (0.0 B)
            TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0
    
    lo: flags=73<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING>  mtu 65536
            inet 127.0.0.1  netmask 255.0.0.0
            inet6 ::1  prefixlen 128  scopeid 0x10<host>
            loop  txqueuelen 1000  (Локальная петля (Loopback))

            TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0
    
    wlp2s0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
            inet 192.168.1.21  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 192.168.1.255
            inet6 fe80::14ad:7ca7:54ef:869a  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x20<link>
            ether 38:b1:db:c7:a5:27  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)

            TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0
    

    Where is MAC address here?
