Display mac address of connected server

I am not quite sure what you are asking. If you are looking for the MAC address associated with an interface on the BIG-IP, the bigpipe command:

 

 

bigpipe interface show all

 

 

If you are looking for MAC addresses connected downstream from the BIG-IP, I don't think there is a command to handle this.

 

 

bigpipe arp show

 

 

Will give you devices in the arp table but this is on a VLAN level. You could tcpdump on the interface and then use a program like wireshark to view the MAC addresses, but this may be tedious. Here is an example:

 

 

tcpdump -ni 1.1 -w /var/tmp/interface1_1.pcap

 

 

Please be aware the tcpdump can use resources and unfiltered captures can grow quite large. If you are only looking for MAC address, I would suggest running tcpdump on a standby BIG-IP.

 

 

You could also check the output from 'b conn all show all' to get a list of the connection table entries and the respective MAC addresses. arp -a will show the arp cache and the VLAN it was learned on. As mkahler pointed out, both of these options show the VLAN, not the physical port.
