Terminal command to get MAC

You can access the address file for each device on the /sys virtual filesystem. The MAC address should be in /sys/class/net/<device-name>/address .

to get mac address of any device you can use the command as :

$ cat /sys/class/net/*/address 

/sys/class/net/*/address


Similarly we can also use the combination of ifconfig and grep 

 $ ifconfig -a | grep HWaddr | awk '{print $5}'
