Please note that your interface name (br0) could be different. TX packets:61329 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 RX packets:48574 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 If you have telnet access to router then you can just telnet into router and find out MAC address:īr0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:08:5C:00:00:01 If you cannot find MAC address then just ping to your router once (my router had 192.168.1.254 IP)Īnd then run (type arp -a) above arp command again. In above example 00:08:5C:00:00:01 is MAC address of my router. To get your router MAC address, use arp command as follows: If the hostname parameter is not used, all entries will be displayed. For debugging purposes, the arp program also allows a complete dump of the ARP cache.ĪRP shows the entries of the specified hosts. The primary options are clearing an address mapping entry and manually setting up one. You need to use arp command (available on both Windows, Linux/Unixish systems).ĪRP manipulates the kernel's ARP cache in various ways. If you do not have access to router admin interface (via telnet or webbased), use following method to find out router MAC address. It is a unique identifier attached to almost most all networking equipment such as Routers, Ethernet cards and other devices. MAC is acronym for for Media Access Control address.
