What are you actually trying to do anyway (MAC addresses aren't usually used for much for example)
I am basically trying to build a system that can be use to troubleshoot faults for students connecting their own PCs to the JANET network through their halls of residence.
Each network port in each room is locked to a certain MAC. I need to extract that MAC so if all else fails it can be sent to the help desk to see if a bad MAC (i.e user reported the wrong MAC) is causing the problem.
