MAC Address Mapping to Ethernet Ports
A system serial label that displays the MAC ID (and the associated barcode) for the server is
attached to the top, front left side of the Exadata Server X10M server disk cage bezel.
This MAC ID (and barcode) corresponds to a hexadecimal (base 16) MAC address for a
sequence of six consecutive MAC addresses. These six MAC addresses correspond to the
server network ports, as shown in the following table.
Table 2-5 Ethernet Port MAC Address Map
Base MAC Address Corresponding Ethernet Port
“base” + 0 NET 0
“base” + 1 Unassigned
“base” + 2 Unassigned
“base” + 3 Unassigned
“base” + 4 SP (NET MGT)
“base” + 5 Used only when Network Controller-Sideband Interface (NC-SI) sideband
management is configured.
Net 0 Gigabit Ethernet Port
The server has one auto-negotiating 100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) system
domain port labeled NET 0 that uses a standard RJ-45 connector.
NET 0 GbE Ethernet port transfer rates are shown in the following table.
