▼Confirm Physical Port MAC Addresses and Match Them to Window Device Names
To confirm the MAC addresses of installed NEM and PCI EM ports and to match them to the Windows Device Friendly Names, you will need to open a command prompt and run ipconfig /all.
To open a Windows command prompt and run ipconfig /all follow these steps:
1.Click -> Start -> Run.
The Run dialog box appears.
2.In the Run dialog box, type cmd then click OK. The cmd.exe DOS window appears.
3.In the cmd.exe DOS window, enter the command: ipconfig /all
The output from the ipconfig /all command identifies the installed NEM and PCI EM ports by the connection name in the order of enumeration.
Note – The output does not necessarily follow an alpha or numeric order. You can customize the connection name in the Network Connections folder for details, see Microsoft’s documentation. The output below illustrates how the Windows operating system, by default, assigns logical names to network interfaces.
