The Solaris platform is a fully featured UNIX distribution that is run in many corporate, educational and government environments. The Solaris platform has historically come with SPARC-based processors and has carved out its own niche in the world of computing. Because the Solaris operating system is true UNIX, you will be able to use the standard UNIX command to search out the MAC address of your Network Adapter or those of other systems on your network.
Instructions
1. Log into the system using your network account. You can do this remotely via Secure Shell (SSH) or directly on the system's console.
2. Open a command prompt. SSH users will already be at one, but local users may need to open a new terminal by right-clicking the Desktop and selecting "New Terminal".
3. Enter the command "arp -a" without quotes.
4. Analyze the results. The IP of the device on your network is displayed, as well as the MAC address of the system. The IP will be the identifier of the machine that you can most easily make sense of, while the MAC address will be a hexadecimal number separated by the colon symbol.
