[SunHELP] How can I find the default ether (MAC) address of an interface?

[stephen price]

eeprom local-mac-address? = true
and
reboot

or drop to obp prompt and set 
local-mac-address? = true
and boot

this will allow the true mac addr of each interface.

I'm "assuming" that it is currently set to false - and
that's why you only see the one mac addr.

steve
