Description

The Get-SCMACAddress cmdlet gets allocated Media Access Control (MAC) addresses.

Examples

Example 1: Get the allocated MAC addresses for a specific MAC address pool

PS C:\> $HostGroup = Get-SCVMHostGroup | where { $_.Path -eq "All Hosts\HostGroup02\Production" }
PS C:\> Set-SCVMHostGroup -VMHostGroup $HostGroup -InheritNetworkSettings $False
PS C:\> $MACAddressPool = @(Get-SCMACAddressPool -VMHostGroup $HostGroup)
PS C:\> Get-SCMACAddress -MACAddressPool $MACAddressPool[0]

The first command gets the host group object at the path "All Hosts\HostGroup02\Production" and stores the object in the $HostGroup variable.

The second command disables inheritance of network settings for the host group stored in $HostGroup. This is done so that the next command returns only the MAC address pools associated with All Hosts\HostGroup02\Production, rather than all the MAC address pools inherited by this host group.

The third command gets the MAC address pool objects associated with the host group stored in $HostGroup and stores the objects in the $MACAddressPool array.

The last command gets the allocated MAC addresses for the first MAC address pool in $MACAddressPool.

Parameters

-All

Indicates that this cmdlet gets all subordinate objects independent of the parent object. For example, the command Get-SCVirtualDiskDrive -All gets all virtual disk drive objects regardless of the virtual machine object or template object that each virtual disk drive object is associated with.
