After much gnashing of teeth, days working with ugs, cncjs and bcnc, and some loss of sleep, I have a combination of apps on my RPi that are running consistently; more on that in another post.
The issue (condition?) that I'm trying to understand now is the MAC number.
I ran the commands to find the MAC number and got the following for the wifi link:
pi@RPi-LSR:~ $ cat /sys/class/net/wlan0/address
b8:27:eb:66:b9:da
pi@RPi-LSR:~ $ ifconfig wlan0
wlan0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.0.105 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255
inet6 fe80::9625:1938:3572:2d51 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link>
ether b8:27:eb:66:b9:da txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)
RX packets 1099 bytes 111026 (108.4 KiB)
RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0
TX packets 981 bytes 173847 (169.7 KiB)
TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0
I also ran the commands to get the ethernet MAC, although it isn't used:
pi@RPi-LSR:~ $ cat /sys/class/net/eth0/address
b8:27:eb:33:ec:8f
pi@RPi-LSR:~ $ ifconfig eth0
eth0: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ether b8:27:eb:33:ec:8f txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)
RX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B)
RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0
TX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B)
TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0
I setup my wifi router to assign a permanent IP as follows:
B8-27-EB-66-B9-DA 192.168.0.112 Enabled
However, when the RPi links to the router, this is what I get:
RPi-LSR 86-16-F9-66-B9-DA 192.168.0.105
Overall, it's more of a curiosity, I suppose. I can link to the two RPi boards I've set up by using the hostname I gave each of them.
What say you IT gurus?
