Overview
This document describes how to display interface MAC addresses.
Details
The various CLI commands provided below, will display the MAC addresses of the Palo Alto Network interfaces including an HA cluster.
Media Access Control Address is allocated to all the network devices and it is used as a network address for IEEE 802 technology which incorporates Ethernet and Wi-Fi. As an Alexa enabled smart speaker user it is very easy to find MAC Address for Amazon Echo devices.
- Locating the MAC/Physical Address of an Amazon Dot, Echo, FireTV or Tap using the Alexa app Step 1: Download the Alexa app from the Apple App store or Google Play store. You can search for Alexa on either app store or use the QR codes below. Apple App Store Google Play Store.
- Add your devices ' mac address ' to your ' devices '. Once Mac Address is added select the Wi-Fi signal you want to connect to on the Alexa app. After you are connected to the Wi-Fi signal, wait for a couple for a minutes until Alexa echo dot is connected and you are ' online '. Once you are online, Alexa echo dot is ready for use.
For example to display the MACs for all interfaces on the Palo Alto Networks: External hard drive not mounting mac.

To display an individual interface indicate the specific interface in the following command:
> show interface ethernet1/1
For example:
> show interface ethernet1/1

On the L3 interfaces, the MAC address listed for an interface using the command show interface all for an HA cluster are the VMAC.
The format of the virtual MAC is 00-1B-17:00: xx: yy where
- 00-1B-17: vendor ID
- 00: fixed
- xx: HA group ID
- yy: interface ID
The following CLI command displays VMAC and VIP for Active-Active HA cluster:

In the above output example, HA Group ID = 0b Hex (11 Decimal) and Interface ID = 14 Hex (20 Decimal).
Note: The MAC addresses of the HA1 interfaces, which are on the control plane and synchronize the configuration of the devices are unique. The MAC addresses of the HA2 interfaces, which are on the data plane and synchronize the active sessions mirror each other.
