How to get Mac Address of an network adapter

[jasmeer]

Hi
Usually MAC address is available in NetworkDeviceFunction object. However, in my system NetworkDeviceFunction collection has no members:

curl -k https:/redfish/v1/Chassis/1/NetworkAdapters/slot-1/NetworkDeviceFunctions
{
"Name": "NetworkDeviceFunctionCollection",
"Description": "A collection of NetworkDeviceFunction resource instances.",
"@odata.etag": ""33e203339f0e2428c37"",
"@odata.id": "/redfish/v1/Chassis/1/NetworkAdapters/slot-1/NetworkDeviceFunctions",
"[email protected]": 0,
"Members": [],
"@odata.type": "#NetworkDeviceFunctionCollection.NetworkDeviceFunctionCollection",
"@odata.context": "/redfish/v1/$metadata#NetworkDeviceFunctionCollection.NetworkDeviceFunctionCollection"
}

Why is it so? Is there any other way to find the Mac address set to a network port?

Thanks
Jasmeer

Hi Jasmeer,
Some network cards do not provide NetworkDeviceFunction.
You can find the Mac address of network port in Ports Object.
such as: /redfish/v1/Chassis/1/NetworkAdapters/slot6_0x170000/Ports/0

Thank you for the reply.
In my system, ports and NetworkPorts collections are empty as well.

Why ports, networkports and netrworkdevicefunctions all are empty?

Could you give me your server's products model (such as SR650), XCC/UEFI firmware versions and FFDC log?
Can you see the port and mac on web,such as

Thanks.
