To view the MAC address on Ubuntu, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open the Terminal application.
  2. Enter the following command in the terminal:
ifconfig
  1. You will see a list containing network interface information. Locate the network interface for which you want to view the MAC address (usually eth0 or wlan0).
  2. Locate the line with the name “ether” in the information of the network interface, followed by a sequence of hexadecimal numbers and letters. This is the MAC address of the network interface.

You can also use the following command to check the MAC address:

ip link show

Both of these commands can assist you in viewing the MAC addresses of various network interfaces on an Ubuntu system.
