Find Host ID?

[TheMonarch]

Quick question. How do I find my Mac's Host ID? Preferably using terminal.

Thanks 🙂

I think this is what your referring to...

uname -n

Hmm. I think its Ethernet ID that I'm looking for. 😱

So your looking for your MAC address for your Ethernet port?

You can find that with the command 'ifconfig'

or more specifically if you need it for a script or something and need the ethernet address only you could run something like this...

ifconfig | grep "en0:" -A 3 | grep ether -m 1 | awk '{print $2}'
