Another way of getting one's own Ethernet address is to
use netstat.  One does not need to be super-user to do
this.  On my SGI it looks like this:


wardsgi 1% /usr/etc/netstat -ain
Name Mtu   Network     Address            Ipkts Ierrs    Opkts Oerrs  Coll
enp0 1500  130.132.19  130.132.19.20   8175442 3222540   436677   1   546
                        224.0.2.2
                        224.0.0.1
                        02:cf:1f:e0:44:09
lo0  32880 127         127.0.0.1           6374     0     6374     0   0
                        224.0.0.1

and the hex numbers beginning with 0f:cf are the address of
the SGI.  To get ethernet addresses of other nodes, as somebody
has pointed out, use the command /usr/etc/arp -a and you'll
get the complete mapping of directly-connected nodes with
which your workstation has recently talked.  You may have
to use ping first to get the node of interest into the
arp table...
